May 11, 2017 | Austin, Texas

Governor Greg Abbott's request for low interest federal disaster loans for those affected by the devastating tornadoes that swept through Texas on the weekend of April 28th has been granted by the Small Business Administration (SBA) for seven Texas counties. Those counties include: Henderson, Hunt, Kaufman, Rains, Smith, Wood and Van Zandt.
  
"I extend my sincerest appreciation to the SBA for their swift action in aiding those affected by these deadly tornadoes," said Governor Abbott. "Texans have always worked together to help their neighbors and rebuild their communities after a tragedy strikes, and this time will be no different."
