Governor M. Jodi Rell today announced that federal disaster loans are available to agricultural cooperatives, small businesses and private non-profit groups in Fairfield and Litchfield counties that suffered losses from frost and freezing weather this past spring.

The low-interest loans are available through the U.S. Small Business Administration to recover damages incurred from April 28-May 28.

“Severe weather – any time of the year – can deliver a devastating blow to the bottom line of small businesses. These emergency loans help provide the safety net that owners and operators need to get back on their feet,” Governor Rell said.

Eligible small businesses, agriculture cooperatives and non-profit groups may qualify for loans of up to $2 million at an interest rate of 4 percent and terms of up to 30 years.

For more information, contact the SBA:

· By phone – 800-659-2955

· By e-mail – disastercustomerservice@sba.gov

· On the Web – www.sba.gov/services/disasterassistance

The deadline for applications is April 14, 2009.
