Kentucky Congressman Announces Assistance For Farmers Affected By Drought.
U.S. Rep. Harold “Hal” Rogers (KY-05) announced today that the U.S. Small Business Administration is still making loans for small businesses and farmers that suffered substantial economic injury due to drought conditions that started late last Spring and continue.
Businesses that meet SBA criteria can apply for low-interest loans of up to $1.5 million to cover expenses. Eligible counties are Lawrence, Martin and Pike. The deadline to apply is April 9, 2008.
“I urge any business that has suffered economic hardship to apply for this assistance,” said Rogers. “The SBA will work with businesses and farmers in this region to assist them through this difficult time.”
