Businesses impacted by the recent sinkhole along Route 80 can now seek financial assistance through federal and state programs. Eligible companies may apply for low-interest loans from the federal government, with amounts reaching up to $2 million. This financial support aims to help stabilize operations and cover unexpected expenses arising from the traffic disruptions caused by the sinkhole.
In addition to federal loans, affected businesses can also apply for state grants ranging from $1,000 to $15,000. These grants are designed to provide immediate relief to small businesses facing financial strain due to decreased customer access and ongoing operational challenges.
Local officials are encouraging all eligible businesses to take advantage of these programs as they work to recover from the adverse effects of the sinkhole. The assistance is part of a broader effort to support the community and ensure that businesses can bounce back and thrive in the wake of this unexpected event.
