Fed Disaster Benefits Extended To Include Glastonbury Businesses

GLASTONBURY, CT — Businesses in Glastonbury could be eligible for federal dollars after an extension of disaster benefits by the Small Business Administration.

Town officials said Wednesday that the SBA and the federal Office of Disaster Recovery and Resilience recently announced that SBA funds, in the form of low-interest and long-term loans, are currently available to eligible local businesses. In mid-August, a disaster was declared in Fairfield, Litchfield, and New Haven Counties following the severe storms, flooding, landslides, and mudslides.

The SBA has extended associated relief funds to Hartford County and other communities within the "zone of economic impact" via the Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program. Interested business can review the SBA fact sheet for more information and important filing deadlines.
