King George County in Virginia Added to SBA Public Assistance Disaster Declaration
AnnouncementsCONTACT:Michael Lampton , SBA 404-331-0333
Release Number: 10-512, VA 12040/12041
FOR RELEASE AT WILL
June 18, 2010
ATLANTA – The U.S. Small Business Administration announces today that King George County has been added to the disaster declaration for Private Non-Profit Organizations (PNPs) that do not provide critical services of a governmental nature. The deadline to submit economic injury disaster loan applications is November 16, 2010 for working capital losses caused by severe winter storm and snowstorm that occurred on December 18-20, 2009.
The deadline for physical damage was April 19; however, eligible PNPs in the newly added area may apply under the SBA’s late filing guidelines, provided they show the reason for the late filing was due to circumstances beyond their control. Examples of eligible non-critical PNP organizations include, but are not limited to, food kitchens, homeless shelters, museums, libraries, community centers, schools and colleges.
PNPs may borrow up to $2 million to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate, machinery and equipment, inventory and other business assets. The SBA may increase a loan up to 20 percent of the total amount of disaster damage to real estate and/or leasehold improvements, as verified by SBA, to make improvements that lessen the risk of property damage by future disasters of the same kind.
The SBA offers Economic Injury Disaster Loans to help meet working capital needs, such as ongoing operating expenses for PNP organizations of all sizes. Economic Injury Disaster Loan assistance is available regardless of whether there was any physical property damage. Interest rates are as low as 3 percent with terms up to 30 years. Loan amounts and terms are set by the SBA and are based on each applicant’s financial condition.
Disaster loan information and application forms may be obtained by calling the SBA’s Disaster Assistance Customer Service Center at 800-659-2955 (800-877-8339 for people with speech or hearing disabilities) Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. EDT or by sending an e-mail to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it . Applications can also be downloaded from www.sba.gov. Completed applications should be mailed to: U.S. Small Business Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Road, Fort Worth,
TX 76155. Those affected by the disaster may apply for disaster loans from SBA’s secure website at https://disasterloan.sba.gov/ela/ .
The deadline to return economic injury applications is November 16, 2010.
