Cutrona Releases Statement on Economic Injury Disaster Loans for Mahoning County

COLUMBUS—State Senator Al Cutrona (R-Canfield) released the following statement regarding Governor DeWine's request from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) to provide low-interest loans to businesses affected by the explosion at the Realty Building in Youngstown: 

The explosion on May 28, 2024, was devastating to many businesses in downtown Youngstown. I appreciate Governor DeWine's leadership and request for assistance for businesses that were significantly impacted. I also urge the U.S. SBA to issue low-interest loans to those businesses. Small businesses have been a top priority in the state legislature. It is crucial that they receive the assistance they need in this critical time. The downtowns of our cities and towns are the heartbeat of communities and we must do what we can to keep businesses thriving.
