Fed grants $675,000 in post-fire loans
The U.S. Small Business Administration has informed the Sun Valley-Ketchum Chamber & Visitors Bureau that 16 local businesses have been approved for $675,000 worth of Economic Injury Disaster Loans. The loans were made possible following the Castle Rock Fire, which began Aug. 16 along Warm Springs Creek and then inundated the Wood River Valley with smoke, firefighters and trepidation for about three weeks during one of the area's biggest tourism seasons. The low-interest loan program is intended to address the financial hardship businesses face due to the loss of tourism. The Small Business Administration closed the doors of its post-Castle Rock Fire office in Hailey Sept. 20, but will accept loan applications from businesses impacted by the fire through June 11, 2008.
