ATLANTA - The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) announces the addition of Orange County in New York to the disaster declaration for businesses and residents affected by the remnants of Hurricane Ida on Sept. 1-3, 2021. Businesses and residents in Orange County are now eligible to apply for SBA’s low-interest Physical and Economic Injury Disaster Loans. In addition, the physical damage application deadline is extended to Jan. 4, 2022.
The disaster declaration covers Bronx, Dutchess, Kings, Nassau, Orange, Queens, Richmond, Rockland, Suffolk, and Westchester counties in New York. Economic Injury Disaster Loans only are available to small businesses and most nonprofit organizations in the following adjacent counties: Columbia, New York, Putnam, Sullivan, and Ulster in New York; Fairfield and Litchfield in Connecticut; Berkshire in Massachusetts; Bergen, Passaic and Sussex in New Jersey, and Pike in Pennsylvania.
Two Business Recovery Centers (BRCs) will close permanently on December 6, 2021. The only Business Recovery Center that will remain open is in New Rochelle to accommodate scheduled loan closings. The BRCs are a great resource for disaster survivors who want to discuss SBA’s disaster loan program.
