ATLANTA, May 12, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The U.S. Small Business Administration announced today that the county of New Haven has been added to for the Presidential disaster declaration in Connecticut for Public Assistance resulting from damages caused by a severe winter storm and snowstorm on Jan. 26 – 28, 2015.
PNPs located in the following Connecticut counties are eligible to apply to SBA: New Haven, New London, Tolland and Windham. Examples of eligible non-critical PNP organizations include, but are not limited to, food kitchens, homeless shelters, museums, libraries, community centers, schools and colleges.
