SBA DISASTER ASSISTANCE ON BP OIL SPILL

SBA Administrator Karen Mills announced the agency is making low-interest loans available to Florida small businesses near the Gulf of Mexico suffering financial losses following the April 20 Deepwater BP oil spill that shut down commercial and recreational fishing along the state's southeast coast.

Attached you will find the SBA announcement letter as well as their fact sheet on the disaster loan process. PLEASE NOTE that this fact sheet was published just prior to the declaration of Monroe County as a disaster area and Monroe County is now eligible for in this SBA program.

The Chamber’s Executive Vice President, Virginia Panico, met with BP representatives earlier today and they strongly suggest that businesses do not delay in submitting their claims and to get the process started now.
