The U.S. Small Business Administration has released detailed information on approved borrowers from the federal government’s Paycheck Protection Program, writes Matthew Kish for the Philadelphia Business Journal.

The SBA was ordered by U.S. District Judge James Boasberg to release the “names, addresses, and precise loan amounts of all individuals and entities that obtained COVID-related loans pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program and Economic Injury Disaster Loans program.” This follows a lawsuit filed in May by several news organizations.

Prior to the ruling, the SBA had refused to release the information when asked to do so under the Freedom of Information Act, citing privacy concerns.

In Chester County, the biggest loans went to Advanced Call Center Technologies in Berwyn and J.D. Eckman, a bridge and highway construction company in Atglen. Both companies were approved for PPP loans of $10 million. ACCT retained 500 jobs with the loan, while J.D. Eckman kept 358.

DecisionOne in Chesterbrook received a PPP loan of $8,779,712 and retained 500 jobs. Meanwhile, Groundwater and Environmental Services in Exton was approved for $8,468,047. The company retained 387 jobs.

Also, The Tri-M Group of Kennett Square received $8,254,855.
