Economic
Adjustment Program
|
The
Economic Adjustment Program predominantly supports
three types of grant activities: strategic planning,
project implementation, and revolving loan funds.
Strategy grants help organize and carry out a
planning process resulting in a Comprehensive
Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) tailored
to the community's specific economic problems
and opportunities. Implementation grants support
one or more activities identified in an EDA approved
CEDS. Activities may include, but are not limited
to, the creation/expansion of strategically targeted
business development and financing programs such
as, construction of infrastructure improvements,
organizational development and market or industry
research and analysis. Revolving Loan Fund (RLF)
grants may also be used to implement a CEDS. These
grants capitalize a locally administered fund
and are used for making loans to local businesses,
which in turn, create jobs and leverage other
private investment while helping a community to
diversify and stabilize its economy.

Pre-Disaster
Mitigation Loans for Small Businesses
|
The
SBA's Pre-Disaster Mitigation Loan Program was
developed in support of FEMA's Pre-Disaster Mitigation program.
SBA's pilot loan program was authorized at a level
of $15 million for each of five fiscal years from
2000 to 2004 to provide loans to small businesses
for the purpose of implementing mitigation measures
to protect their property from disaster-related
damage. Eligible small businesses may borrow up
to $50,000 each fiscal year at a fixed interest
rate of four percent per annum or less for mitigation
measures approved in the loan request.
|
Businesses
proposing mitigation measures to protect against
flooding must be located in a Special Flood Hazard
Area (SFHA). FEMA publishes maps indicating a
community's flood hazard areas and the degree
of risk in those areas. Flood insurance maps usually
are on file in a local repository in the community,
such as the planning and zoning or engineering
offices in the town hall or the county building.
FEMA's Map
Service Center
provides online access to flood maps: FEMA's Map
Service Center. Businesses may consult
these maps to find out if the business is located
in a SFHA. For information pertaining to hazard
identification mapping and floodplain management,
contact the local community floodplain administrator
or the State floodplain manager. The National
Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) General Program
Information web page provides additional
information on mapping and a link to the State
coordinating agency contacts.
