COLUMBUS, Ind. — Indiana businesses and residents in three area counties affected by severe storms and flooding on June 18 and 19 may apply for low-interest disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration.
Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman made the loans available in response to a letter from Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb requesting a disaster declaration from the administration.
Business and residents in the declared area, which includes Brown, Jackson and Jennings counties, may apply for low-interest disaster loans. The disaster area is Jefferson and Monroe counties, along with Brown, Jackson and Jennings, Clark, Greene, Lawrence, Owen, Ripley, Scott and Switzerland.
The administration has opened two Disaster Loan Outreach Centers in Monroe and Jefferson counties, which will be operational through Friday.
One sit is the Monroe County Convention Center, 302 S. College Ave. in Bloomington and the other is Madison Area Chamber of Commerce, 301 E. Main St. in Madison.
Residents in the affected counties may also call the SBA’s Disaster Customer Service Center at 800-659-2955 for help in completing applications. More information is available by emailing [email protected].
The filing deadline for physical property damage is Sept. 7 and the economic injury applications are due by April 7, 2022.
