Small businesses can learn the latest on federal, state and local lending programs, plus what comes next with stimulus funds, when local lenders join this week’s free webinar hosted by the Small Business Development Center at CSU Bakersfield.

Keith Brice, president and CEO of Mid State Development Corporation will lead a detailed discussion with local lenders on small business lending in Kern County. Topics include updates on the Kern Recovers and Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) programs, changes to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) and the effects on borrowers successfully managing their PPP loans and forgiveness of debt. Questions from attendees will be taken.

This is the 20th in a weekly “Webinar Wednesday” series that provides pandemic relief updates on available federal, state, and local funding options and stimulus packages, tax credit programs, employee programs, plus other opportunities for employers and business owners.
