“But like many of Florida’s small businesses, Boyd Industries was impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.
 
“In April, Boyd Industries was approved for a Paycheck Protection Program Loan.
 
“And that allowed them to keep 77 employees paid and continue supporting their community during this crisis.
 
“So, congratulations to the entire team at Boyd Industries!
 
“I look forward to your continued success and service to your community.”
