The U.S. Small Business Administration, Louisiana Economic Development and Louisiana Small Business Development Centers today announced the opening of the Walker Business Recovery Center for businesses impacted by the historic south Louisiana flooding.
The center, located at the Southeastern Louisiana University Literacy and Technology Center, Room 101, 9261 Florida Blvd. in Walker, will provide a wide range of services to businesses impacted by the severe storms and flooding that began last week.
It will be open on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., beginning Thursday. SBA representatives will meet with each business owner to explain how an SBA disaster loan can help finance their recovery.
“Due to the severe property damage and economic losses these storms and floods inflicted on businesses in Louisiana, we want to provide every available service to help get them back on their feet,” says SBA Louisiana District Director Michael Ricks. “The center will provide a one-stop location for businesses to access a variety of specialized help. Specialists from SBA and LSBDC will be available to meet individually with each business owner.”
No appointment is necessary. All services are provided free of charge.
