Gov. Tony Evers and U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, working with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), are expanding eligibility and extending the application deadlines for Wisconsin businesses to a federal disaster loan program if they have suffered losses due to this year’s unusually mild winter, according to a recent press release. They announced an application deadline extension for many drought disaster declarations issued for Wisconsin. This application deadline would be extended to at least July 31 and would cover a majority of counties that are currently covered under disaster declarations.
Any business that has suffered economic injury as a direct result of the drought/lack of snow, including losses related to reduced winter tourist activity in the area, is eligible to apply for the U.S. SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) program. Businesses may submit applications and find additional disaster assistance information here.
Dane County applications are due by July 31 under Declaration No. 18019.
