(Wisconsin Radio Network) Small businesses impacted by last August’s historic storms can apply for grant funding.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, Governor Tony Evers is urging small businesses and nonprofits affected by last August’s severe storms to apply for federal disaster assistance.

While some loan programs have closed, Economic Injury Disaster Loans from the Small Business Administration are still available. The storms, which hit Wisconsin August 9th through the 12th of last year, caused tens of millions of dollars in damage.

Evers says recovery takes time and emphasizes that support is still available. The loans can help cover expenses like payroll, debts, and other bills tied to storm-related losses.
