RICHMOND, VA – Governor Glenn Youngkin announced today that the U.S. Small Business Administration has made Economic Injury Disaster Loans available to those impacted by the January 2025 severe winter storms that resulted in power and water outages and boil water advisories. These loans can assist small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture, and most private, non-profit organizations of all sizes that have suffered economic injury and need assistance with operational costs during the recovery process.
“We are grateful for the support of President Trump, Administrator Loeffler, and the Small Business Administration for providing this resource to Virginia businesses. Our small businesses are the heart of our communities, and this is great relief for those that have been impacted by ensuring that they can continue their operations,” said Governor Glenn Youngkin.
The SBA declaration covers the counties of Goochland, Hanover, Henrico, and Richmond City, as well as Caroline, Charles City, Chesterfield, Cumberland, Fluvanna, King William, Louisa, New Kent, Powhatan, and Spotsylvania counties.
Applications for disaster loans may be submitted online using the MySBA Loan Portal at https://lending.sba.gov or other locally announced locations. Please contact the SBA’s Customer Service Center by email at disastercustomerservice@sba.gov or by phone at 1-800-659-2955 for further assistance.
