Congressman Fred Upton is pleased the federal government is putting up some of its resources to help those affected by floods this year in Berrien County. This month, the Small Business Administration announced it will offer low-interest loans to those who suffered losses in flooding in several counties. Upton tells WSJM News this is a positive development.
“I toured a lot of our flood areas with Sheriff Bailey a couple weeks ago and saw first hand the difficulties,” Upton said. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen what this high, and I’ve lived here all my life.”
The SBA loans are available for individuals and businesses in Berrien, Allegan, Cass, St. Joseph, and Van Buren counties, among others. Upton says anyone with questions can call his office for guidance.
