We have some new info from the State on the Disaster Recovery funds.  In order to actually get the area declared as eligible, the State has to receive five SBA validated Economic Injury Worksheets, and then the Governor may request the Economic Injury Disaster Declaration. A county will need to submit at least one valid Economic Injury Worksheet in order to be included in the declaration.  So we need to push this out to our business owners that have been impacted in order to get the ball rolling.
