SBA In Cookson This Week Helping Tornado Victims

People impacted by tornadoes last month in Cherokee County may be able to get federal financial help.

The Small Business Administration will be at the Cookson Volunteer Fire Station starting at 9 a.m. Wednesday to help. The station is located at 21642 West Cookson Bend Road.

Several homes and businesses were destroyed or heavily damaged. SBA officials say those businesses and individuals impacted by the tornado could qualify for low-interest loans to help them get back on their feet.

The money could be used to repair or replace damaged property.

If you cannot make it Wednesday, the SBA says they will be the fire station on Thursday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
