Flood victims may apply for small business loans

July 30, 2010 @ 12:00 AM

LOGAN -- The U.S. Small Business Administration is accepting disaster loan applications for two separate incidents of flooding in West Virginia and Ohio earlier this year.

The agency is accepting applications for homeowners, renters, businesses and private nonprofit organizations of any size from a disaster declaration for the severe storms, flooding, mudslides and landslides from June 12 through June 29, in West Virginia. The deadline for physical loan applications is Aug. 23. The deadline for economic injury applications is March 24, 2011.

There are Federal Emergency Management Agency/SBA disaster recovery centers open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays at the following locations:

Logan County, Logan High School, One Wildcat Way, Logan WV 25601.

McDowell County, 600 Stewart St. (State Hwy 16), Welch WV 24801.

Wyoming County, Hanover Head Start Center, 5594 Interstate Hwy (Old Route 52 S), Hanover WV 24839.

The SBA is also taking applications for economic injury disaster loans for small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives and moist private nonprofit organizations from severe storms and flooding starting April 30 in Lawrence, Adams and Scioto counties in Ohio and adjacent counties in Kentucky. Completed loan applications must be returned to SBA no later than March 1, 2011.

The types of loans and times for the disaster recovery centers were incorrect in Wednesday's edition of The Herald-Dispatch.
