ATLANTA –
  
  The U.S. Small Business Administration is reminding businesses in
  
   Florida
  
  that working capital loans are still available to small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and private nonprofit organizations affected by the toxic algal bloom beginning June 1, 2018.
  “Businesses that suffered economic losses as a result of the disaster and want to apply for low-Interest loans from the SBA are urged to do so before the
  
   June 4, 2019
  
  deadline,” said Kem Fleming, director of SBA Field Operations Center East.
  The declaration covers Lee and Martin counties and the adjacent counties of Charlotte, Collier, Glades, Hendry, Okeechobee, Palm Beach and Saint Lucie in
  
   Florida

Working capital disaster loans up to $2 million are available at 3.61 percent for small businesses, and 2.5 percent for private nonprofit organizations with terms up to 30 years. The loans are intended to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable, and other expenses that could have been paid had the disaster not occurred. To be considered for this assistance, eligible entities need to apply by the deadline.
  Survivors may apply online using the Electronic Loan Application (ELA) via SBA’s secure website at
