SAN DIEGO — The remaining two Small Business Administration disaster loan outreach centers, aimed at helping small business owners impacted by the Jan. 22 floods, will officially close Thursday at 6 p.m.SBA officials said they're closing because they have hardly seen any foot traffic at the centers.
To date, the SBA said they've received more than 2,600 applications and approved more than $42 million in loans to help small businesses that were affected. Danny Fitzgerald, executive director at Southwestern College’s Center for Business Advancement, said,"The big one is, 'I wasn't in the primary affected areas like Chollas Creek, Spring Valley, or over in National City. Am I eligible?’"
