SBA Disaster Assistance Available for July 2-4 Tornado and Severe Weather That Hit the Kane County Area
Springfield- The U.S. Small Business Administration has notified the Illinois Emergency Management Agency and Office of Homeland Security (IEMA OHS) that it has approved a disaster declaration for Kane County for damage in the July 2-4 storms. Residents and business owners in the contiguous counties of Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, Kendall, and McHenry Counties will also be eligible to apply for the SBA's long-term, low-interest disaster loans.
"We know that severe weather can devastate communities and are pleased that the SBA loans will be available for storm-related damages not covered by insurance," said Theodore (Ted) Berger, IEMA-OHS director. "We are further pleased that the SBA is offering disaster loan outreach centers (DLOCs) so that residents and business owners can access in-person guidance on loan details and benefits."
