Governor Abbott Seeks Access to Disaster Loans for Small Businesses

Date: March 17, 2020

Gov. Greg Abbott is asking the federal government for a Small Business Administration Economic Injury Disaster Declaration so qualifying small businesses in Texas can access long-term, low-interest loans under the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program.

“At a time when small businesses are hurting from the economic impact of COVID-19, the State of Texas is committed to helping these businesses receive the financial relief they need to continue operating,” Abbott said. “That is why today I requested that the U.S. Small Business Administration implement a declaration to provide SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loans for the entire state of Texas.”
