WATERTOWN, N.Y. (WWNY) - The $900 billion economic relief package passed by congress Monday night should help small businesses in the north country.
The stimulus package contains another round of the âPaycheck Protection Program,â (PPP) which last spring provided a lifeline to many small businesses - and their employees - as the effects of the virus kicked in.
Watertown Savings Bank President Mark Lavarnway said his institution helped more than 600 small businesses the first time around.
