ATLANTA -
The U.S. Small Business Administration is reminding small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private nonprofit organizations that
March 21
is the filing deadline for federal economic injury disaster loans in Franklin, Habersham, Hart, Rabun and Stephens counties in
Georgia
as a result of the drought that began on July 12, 2016.
“These counties are eligible because they are contiguous to one or more primary counties in
South Carolina
. The Small Business Administration recognizes that disasters do not usually stop at county or state lines. For that reason, counties adjacent to primary counties named in the declaration are included,” said Frank Skaggs, director of SBA’s Field Operations Center East in Atlanta.

With the exception of aquaculture enterprises, SBA cannot provide disaster loans to agricultural producers, farmers, or ranchers. Nurseries are eligible to apply for economic injury disaster loans for losses caused by drought conditions.
