SBA loan office to open today

PROVIDENCE - The U.S. Small Business Administration will open a temporary disaster-loan assistance center in its district office today to help businesses and residents who suffered losses from flooding last October, according to U.S. Sen. Lincoln Chafee.

Low-interest loans are available to businesses, homeowners and renters in Kent, Providence, Bristol and Washington Counties, according to the Rhode Island Republican.

The loan assistance center opens at noon today at 380 Westminster St., Room 511, and will remain open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. until further notice, according to Chafee.
