ATLANTA -
The U.S. Small Business Administration is reminding small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private nonprofit organizations located in Greenville, Oconee and Pickens counties in
South Carolina
that
April 8
is the filing deadline for federal economic injury disaster loans as a result of the flooding from Tropical Storm Alberto that began on May 15, 2018.
“These counties are eligible because they are contiguous to one or more primary counties in
North 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 Kem Fleming, director of SBA’s Field Operations Center East in Atlanta.
