How much SBA lending goes to Moscow businesses?
9 7(a) approvals totaling $1.9 m since FY2020, across 7 lenders, median approval $100,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Moscow, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Moscow borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Moscow. Only 1 loan has reached a final outcome, fewer than the 30 a charge-off rate needs, so no rate is published. The counts are shown instead.
Is Moscow in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Moscow appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Moscow, borough of, community 420534, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Moscow figures?
No, and they are labeled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Lackawanna County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Moscow.
Is zoning published for Moscow?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
