The U.S. Small Business Administration is permanently closing its Business Recovery Center in Sullivan County on Thursday.
The center is located at the Sullivan City Hall, 110 N. Main St., Sullivan, and will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. before it permanently closes Thursday, according to a U.S. SBA news release.
Until the center closes, the SBA’s customer service representatives will be available at the center to answer questions, help apply for an SBA Disaster Loan, help upload documents, check an application’s status and assist in completing reconsideration requests for the SBA Disaster Loan Program, the news release says.
The SBA opened the center to assist Indiana businesses and residents affected by losses from severe storms, straight-line winds and tornadoes that occurred from March 31 to April 1 to submit completed SBA disaster applications, officials say.
The disaster declaration covers Allen, Benton, Clinton, Grant, Howard, Johnson, Lake, Monroe, Morgan, Owen, Sullivan and White counties in Indiana, which are eligible for both Physical and Economic Injury Disaster Loans from the SBA.
Small businesses and most private nonprofit organizations in the following adjacent counties are eligible to apply only for SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loans: Adams, Bartholomew, Blackford, Boone, Brown, Carroll, Cass, Clay, DeKalb, Delaware, Greene, Hamilton, Hendricks, Huntington, Jackson, Jasper, Knox, Lawrence, Madison, Marion, Miami, Montgomery, Newton, Noble, Porter, Pulaski, Putnam, Shelby, Tippecanoe, Tipton, Vigo, Wabash, Warren, Wells and Whitley in Indiana; and Clark, Cook, Crawford, Iroquois, Kankakee, Vermillion and Will in Illinois; Defiance, Paulding and Van Wert in Ohio, according to the SBA.
Any business owner or resident in any of the declared counties can get help at the BRC location — this includes Johnson County.
