The Small Business Administration (SBA) has issued an "SBA-only"disaster declaration for Auglaize and Marion counties as a result of
the flooding from late February.
This declaration also includes contiguous counties therefore Allen County residents are eligible as well for long-term, low-interest loans from SBA.
