Today, Governor Tate Reeves announced disaster assistance for Mississippi small businesses that were negatively impacted this summer and fall by the blue-green algae bloom on the Gulf Coast.
Working in coordination with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and former Governor Phil Bryant, Governor Reeves helped secure low-interest Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs) for small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small aquaculture businesses, and private nonprofit organizations.
�The Mississippi Gulf Coast is a precious natural beauty, and the small businesses that call it home must be protected. Because what�s good for the Gulf Coast�and for small businesses�is good for all of Mississippi. Having a strong relationship with organizations like the U.S. Small Business Administration means we can help our small businesses when disaster strikes,� said Governor Reeves.
Applicants may apply online using the Electronic Loan Application (ELA) via SBA�s secure website at DisasterLoan.sba.gov.
