Gov. Tate Reeves today 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 Gov. 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.
Applicants may apply online using the Electronic Loan Application (ELA) via SBA’s secure website at DisasterLoan.SBA.gov.
