SBA Low-Interest Loans Available To Qualifying Businesses And Residents Affected By Violence\u00a0In Baltimore City<\/span><\/p>\n

ANNAPOLIS, MD <\/strong>(May 11, 2015)\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Governor Larry Hogan today announced that the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has approved his request for a physical disaster declaration for the City of Baltimore due to civil unrest in late April and early May. This declaration will allow affected businesses, homeowners, and renters to apply for low-interest loans to repair damages that occurred due to this violence.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMany businesses, homeowners, and residents were tragically\u00a0affected by the violence and destruction that occurred in Baltimore City last week,\u201d said Governor Hogan. \u201cThe loans offered by the SBA are an important tool for helping businesses rebuild and return to being a vital part of Baltimore\u2019s community and economy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

State officials from the Maryland Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) joined Baltimore City and SBA staff last week to assess damages in order to apply for this program.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis approval will allow recovery efforts that have been underway for more than a week to continue,\u201d said Lt. Governor Boyd Rutherford. \u201cI encourage all affected business owners to determine if they qualify for\u00a0these\u00a0loans.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI want to thank Governor Hogan and the SBA for quickly authorizing the disaster loan program as the state continues to support Baltimore City with various programs to help residents recover and heal,”\u00a0said MEMA Executive Director Clay Stamp.<\/span><\/p>\n
