Some federal aid is coming in to Bluffton flood victims, according to Rick Skilliter, Bluffton police chief. He informed The Icon today that the following information was supplied by the Allen County EMA:
The Small Business Administration (SBA) has issued an "SBA-only"disaster declaration for Auglaize and Marion counties as a result of
the flooding from late February.
This declaration also includes contiguous counties therefore Allen County residents are eligible as well for long-term, low-interest loans from SBA.
If you know of anyone who would like to apply, they can contact the SBA in Auglaize County at 610 Indiana Avenue in St. Marys; call toll free 800-659-2955; or go online to www.sba.gov and then click on "Disaster Assistance."
