PPP was a pandemic-era program in which businesses were given grants and loans to stay afloat amid government shutdowns and a COVID-19-induced plunge in consumer spending.
Vance contended in an op-ed that the recent toxic spill and burn-off of dangerous chemicals from the train derailment only compounds long-standing problems of deindustrialization that have hampered the roughly 5,000-person community and surmised that a PPP-style program could be a viable solution."East Palestine will need its own version of the Paycheck Protection Program to protect workers and businesses who lost their livelihoods because of the decisions of others.
Although some residents have reported rashes and other ailments, Vance argued that there is some room for optimism based on the preliminary findings of environmental impact from the spill that suggest it may not be quite as bad as feared. However, he underscored that the community's reputation will be tarnished regardless, and the community will continue reeling from it for a long time to come.
