SBA gives disaster declaration

Representatives housed in Tax Assesors Office

The U.S. Small Business Administration issued a disaster declaration for Brantley County following a request from Deputy Director of Recovery Valarie Grooms.

Grooms’ decision, issued May 26, could be seen as the federal government finally extending victims a lifeline. Two days later (Thursday, May 28), SBA announced it will be offering low-interest federal disaster loans to fire victims.
