West Virginia businesses and homes affected by the Sept. 10 fire at the Milton Flea Market can apply for low-interest disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration, acting SBA Administrator Sandy K. Baruah announced on Tuesday.

The SBA disaster loans became available following a request for a disaster declaration over the fire by Gov. Joe Manchin on Sept. 16. The disaster declaration covers Cabell, Lincoln, Mason, Putnam and Wayne counties in West Virginia and Lawrence and Gallia counties in Ohio.
