Sacramento, CA
– Small, non-farm businesses in 34 Arkansas counties
and neighboring counties in Mississippi, Texas, and
neighboring parishes in Louisiana are now eligible to apply
for low-interest disaster loans from the U. S. Small Business
Administration (SBA). “These loans offset economic
losses because of reduced revenues caused by the excessive
rainfall and extensive flooding that occurred in the following
eight primary Arkansas counties beginning June 1, 2009,”
announced Alfred E. Judd, Director of SBA’s Disaster Field
Operations Center ‑ West.
Primary
Arkansas counties: Calhoun, Desha, Jefferson,
Lincoln, Miller, Pope, Union and Yell;
Neighboring
Arkansas counties: Arkansas, Ashley, Bradley,
Chicot, Cleveland, Columbia, Conway, Dallas, Drew, Garland,
Grant, Hempstead, Johnson, Lafayette, Little River, Logan,
Lonoke, Montgomery, Newton, Ouachita, Perry, Phillips,
Pulaski, Scott, Searcy and Van Buren;
Neighboring
Louisiana parishes: Bossier, Caddo, Claiborne,
Morehouse and Union;
Neighboring
Mississippi counties: Bolivar and Coahoma;
Neighboring
Texas counties: Bowie and Cass;
“SBA
eligibility covers both the economic impacts on businesses
dependent on farmers and ranchers that have suffered
agricultural production losses caused by the disaster and
businesses directly impacted by the disaster,” Judd said.
Small,
non-farm businesses, small agricultural cooperatives and most
private, non-profit organizations of any size may qualify for
Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs) of up to $2 million to
help meet financial obligations and operating expenses which
could have been met had the disaster not occurred.
“Eligibility for these working capital loans is based on the
financial impact of the disaster only and not on any actual
property damage. These loans have an interest rate of
4%, a maximum term of 30 years, and are restricted to small
businesses without the financial ability to offset the adverse
impact without hardship,” Judd added.
By law, SBA
makes EIDLs available when the U. S. Secretary of Agriculture
designates an agricultural disaster. Secretary Tom
Vilsack declared this disaster at the request of Governor Mike
Beebe.
Businesses primarily engaged in farming or
ranching are not eligible for SBA disaster assistance.
Agricultural enterprises should contact the Farm Services
Agency (FSA) about the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)
assistance made available by the Secretary’s declaration.
