Local assistance to appy for Paycheck Protection Program

from Face Book from the St George Community Development Corporation

 The Small Business Administration will resume accepting Paycheck Protection Program applications from participating lenders on Monday, April 27, 2020, at 10:30am EDT. This loan provides small businesses, including eligible self-employed individuals, with funds to pay up to 8 weeks of payroll costs including benefits, utilities, mortgage interest, and rent. These funds will likely go quickly so we urge people to talk with their bank or credit union soon about this loan. If you need free guidance or assistance, please contact Community Development's Rob Kelley at info@stgeorgecommunity.org.

  Update from the Broadband Committee The Connect St. George Committee is asking the St. George community to participate in  Maine Broadband Coalition's Speed Tes t .  The goal of the “Get Up To Speed” initiative is to gather data from across the state to generate the most comprehensive map of both the presence and quality of internet in Maine to date.  How does this help the Connect St. George initiative? The new speed testing initiative is the crucial next step in ensuring the delivery of broadband throughout the state and will help local, regional, and state leaders develop projects and steer investments to the places that need it most.  The test takes less than 1 minute (depending on your internet) and will help us move our project forward.

Craft kits kept a group of patrons in a celebratory mood on New Year’s Eve, and some St. George students masked in style. We’ve provided momentary human and familiar contact to many patrons during curbside pick ups. Documents were printed, jobs were applied for, and vaccines signed up for because of our WiFi, computers, and printers. We are honored to be your library. Our building is in use by our St. George Youth for more than 15 hours a week, and due to capacity limits, we cannot be open to the public during those times.
