The U.S. Small Business is reminding small nonfarm businesses in 27 Utah counties and neighboring counties in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada and New Mexico of the Nov. 5, deadline to apply for an SBA federal disaster loan for economic injury. These low-interest loans are to offset economic losses because of reduced revenues caused by the drought that began Jan. 1, 2021.
The primary Utah counties eligible for the loan program are Beaver, Box Elder, Carbon, Duchesne, Emery, Garfield, Grand, Iron, Juab, Kane, Millard, San Juan, Sevier, Tooele, Uintah, Washington and Wayne. Neighboring counties that fall under the program are Cache, Daggett, Davis, Piute, Salt Lake, Sanpete, Summit, Utah, Wasatch and Weber, as well as numerous neighboring counties in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada and New Mexico.
