GREENEVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Small businesses in some Tennessee counties are eligible for federal loans as a result of a drought last fall.
The U.S. Small Business Administration said small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private nonprofit organizations in Cocke, Greene and Unicoi counties are eligible. The counties are contiguous to one or more primary counties in North Carolina.
The deadline to file for assistance is July 24.
