The U.S. Small Business Administration is offering low-interest federal disaster loans for working capital to small businesses economically impacted by the winter ice storm that occurred January 12-20, SBA’s Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman announced. SBA acted under its own authority to declare a disaster following a request received from Gov. Tina Kotek on February 6.
The disaster declaration makes SBA assistance available in Benton, Clackamas, Clatsop, Columbia, Deschutes, Douglas, Hood River, Klamath, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Marion, Multnomah, Polk, Tillamook, Wasco, Washington and Yamhill counties in Oregon.
Business Climate Survey Now Open
Deadline February 29
Oregon Business & Industry, in partnership with the Oregon State Chamber of Commerce, wants to hear from businesses across the state.
The Oregon Legislature is in the middle of another session, state agency rulemaking is underway for many new and revised policies, and a consequential election is around the corner. These responses will help us make the case for bills that help promote a healthy private sector and against bills which will harm your ability to operate and our economy’s ability to grow.
This survey should take just a few minutes to complete, and an individual company’s answers will remain confidential. The deadline to complete this survey is February 29.
Thank you for your support of local business in Oregon.
