In response to a Freedom of Information Act request and lawsuit from several news organizations, the federal government on Tuesday released detailed records about loans distributed through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). We wrote about the previous, less complete data release on July 9.

We have uploaded to our website, below, a searchable table of the approximately 18,500 MoCo businesses which received loans. View the loan amount, business information, the number of jobs the business plans to retain, and more at the link in our bio.
