The owner of a Spotsylvania County restaurant says she wouldnât still be in business without the latest round of loans through the federal governmentâs Paycheck Protection Program.
Tisha Johnson applied for and received a PPP loan last year, which helped keep her Orleans Bistro & Grill in Southpoint Plaza alive.
Revenue had plummeted from $20,000 to $3,000 a week after Gov. Ralph Northam ordered restaurants last April to drastically reduce the number of patrons allowed inside.
âThatâs nothing when youâre paying $6,000 a month for rent and you still have all of your other bills,â she said. âIt was very difficult. We did nowhere near enough business to survive what we were hit with, and it was unexpected. It left us as restaurant owners in a very tight situation.â

IRS Reminds Farmers and Fishermen of March 1 Tax Deadline
WASHINGTON The Internal Revenue Service is reminding those with income from a farming or fishing business can avoid making any estimated tax payments by filing and paying their entire tax due on or before March 1.
This rule generally applies if farming or fishing income was at least two-thirds of the taxpayer’s total gross income in either the current or the preceding tax year. Those who choose not to file by March 1 should have made an estimated tax payment by Jan. 15 to avoid an estimated tax penalty. For more information on estimated tax, refer to Publication 505, Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax.
