The South Central Kansas Economic Development District announced Wednesday a new Disaster Relief Loan Program available for established businesses located in the district.
The program provides a maximum of $25,000 for working capital for established businesses affected by COVID-19.
The SDRP offers a low interest rate, and the first six monthly payments are deferred. No collateral is required.
SCKEDD serves 14 counties, including Harvey County, in central Kansas.
