Putnam County is one of the four counties the Small Business Administration (SBA) added to the disaster declaration.
Small Business Administration added to the disaster declarationThe reason SBA is stepping in to help is because of damage sustained to homes and businesses due to of Ian. For example, a 50-foot tree uprooted and landed on top of a chicken coop in the yard of a home off San Mateo Road.“I heard it crashing on the metal out there. I heard that and kind of panicked. So, I shot outside, and I heard the thump of it hitting the ground as well,” Wiesner said.
