WAYNESVILLE — Businesses hurt by the rock slide that has closed Interstate 40 may be eligible for help from the Small Business Administration, according to Rep. Heath Shuler..
An SBA program provides emergency loans to companies that have lost substantial business due to natural disasters.
N.C. Gov. Bev Perdue has 120 days following the Oct. 25 rock slide to request an SBA Economic Injury Declaration and must show that at least five businesses have suffered from the closure.
“I’m sure that more than five businesses in Western North Carolina have been hit hard,” Shuler said in a news release.
For questions about the loan program, call Shuler’s office at 252-1651.
