Governor Wes Moore, Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman, and the Small Business Administration (SBA) announced the SBA will open a
Disaster Assistance Business Recovery Center in Anne Arundel County to support businesses impacted by the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse.
"Our Business Recovery Centers are one of the most powerful resources at SBA's disposal to support business owners in the midst of a disaster," said Francisco Sánchez, Jr., associate administrator for the Office of Disaster Recovery and Resilience at the Small Business Administration. "Business owners can meet in-person with our specialists to apply for SBA disaster loans and get information on the full breadth of our programs designed to help them navigate their recovery."
Applicants in the declared area can now apply for a federal Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) of up to $2 million to help overcome any temporary loss of revenue stemming from the bridge collapse. Applicants may apply online and receive additional disaster assistance information at sba.gov/disaster. Applicants may also call SBA's Customer Service Center at (800) 659-2955 or email DisasterCustomerService@sba.gov for more information on SBA disaster assistance. For people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability, please dial 7-1-1 to access telecommunications relay services.
The filing deadline to return economic injury applications is Dec. 30, 2024
Customer Service Representatives at SBA's Business Recovery Centers will assist business owners in completing their disaster loan applications, accept documents for existing applications, and provide status on loan applications.
