SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Low-interest federal disaster loans are available to Nebraska residents and business owners affected by the tornadoes, high winds and flooding that occurred June 14 through June 21, 2014, U. S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator Maria Contreras-Sweet announced.  SBA acted under its own authority to declare a disaster following the July 28 denial of the state's request for a major disaster declaration. The disaster declaration makes SBA assistance available in the Nebraska county of Stanton, including the town of Pilger, and the neighboring counties of Colfax, Cuming, Madison, Pierce, Platte and Wayne. "The U. S. Small Business Administration is strongly committed to providing Nebraska with the most effective and customer-focused response possible, and we will be there to provide access to federal disaster loans to help finance recovery for residents and businesses affected by the disaster," said Contreras-Sweet.  "Getting our businesses and communities up and running after a disaster is our highest priority at SBA." "Low-interest federal disaster loans are available to homeowners, renters, businesses of all sizes and private, nonprofit organizations whose property was damaged or destroyed by this disaster," said SBA's Nebraska District Director Leon J. Milobar.  "Beginning Monday, August 4, SBA representatives will be on hand at the following Disaster Loan Outreach Center to answer questions about SBA's disaster loan program, explain the application process and help each individual complete their application," Milobar continued.  The center will be open on the days and times indicated until further notice.  No appointment is necessary.
