Disaster loans approved for Georgia victims after hurricane
ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia residents affected by Hurricane Matthew are eligible for disaster relief assistance after the storm battered the southeast region of the state in October.
The Small Business Administration announced Tuesday that more than $5 million low-interest disaster loans have been approved for businesses and residents. Around 224 loans have been given out so far.
The disaster declaration covers 10 counties in Georgia including Bryan, Bulloch, Chatham, Effingham, Evans, Glynn, Liberty, Long, McIntosh and Wayne. Those counties are eligible for both physical and economic injury disaster from the SBA.
Hurricane Matthew left a pattern of destruction in Georgia causing an abundance of falling trees while beachfront homes weathered the storm.
