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
  
   Sept. 30
  
  is the filing deadline for federal economic injury disaster loans in Carroll, Grayson, Halifax, Henry, Mecklenburg and Patrick counties in
  
   Virginia
  
  as a result of flooding and winds caused by Hurricane Michael that occurred from Oct. 10-14, 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.
Under this declaration, the SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan program is available to eligible farm-related and nonfarm-related entities that suffered financial losses as a direct result of this disaster. With the exception of aquaculture enterprises, SBA cannot provide disaster loans to agricultural producers, farmers, or ranchers.
The loans are for working capital and can be up to $2 million with interest rates of 3.675 percent for eligible small businesses and 2.5 percent for nonprofit organizations, and terms up to 30 years.
  Applicants may apply online using the Electronic Loan Application (ELA) via SBA’s secure website at
  
Disasterloan.sba.gov.
  Disaster loan information and application forms may also be obtained by calling the SBA’s Customer Service Center at 800-659-2955 (800-877-8339 for the deaf and hard-of-hearing) or by sending an email to
  
   disastercustomerservice@sba.gov
  
  Loan applications can be downloaded from the SBA’s website  at
  
sba.gov.
  
  Completed applications should be mailed to: U.S. Small Business Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Road, Fort Worth, TX 76155.
  Completed loan applications must be returned to SBA no later than
  
Sept. 30, 2019
