Businesses still face significant challenges as they operate during the pandemic. Gregory Price of the Columbia Gorge Community College Small Business Development Center says he still hears from business owners about confusion on requirements from various state agencies and the governor’s office. He also still fields questions about leveraging business assistance funds from both the federal and state level. Price said the recently passed extension for paying back Paycheck Protection Program funds has been helpful. But Price does caution that the reporting aspect of the PPP can be complicated, adding many people have to hire a CPA to do it.
