As a result of the President's major disaster declaration for Public Assistance on July 29, 2003 the U.S. Small Business Administration is activating its disaster loan program only for private non-profit organizations that provide essential services of a governmental nature. I find that Charlotte, Citrus, DeSoto, Hardee, Levy, Manatee and Sarasota Counties in the State of Florida constitute a disaster area due to damages caused by severe storms and flooding occurring on June 13, 2003 and continuing. Applications for loans for physical damage as a result of this disaster may be filed until the close of business on September 29, 2003 at the address listed below or other locally announced locations: Small Business Administration, Disaster Area 2 Office, One Baltimore Place, Suite 300, Atlanta, GA 30308.
The interest rates are:
