Last update: 2 hours ago

SBA Deadline Alert: Pennsylvania small businesses and private nonprofits have until June 1 to apply for low-interest federal disaster loans tied to a drought that began Sept. 23, 2025—covering Fayette, Greene, and Washington counties (plus West Virginia’s Marshall, Monongalia, and Wetzel). Local Growth & Jobs: Charlotte broke ground on Spark Centro, a $20M workforce and small-business hub in east Charlotte aimed at boosting resources and upward mobility, especially for the Latino community. Tech for SMBs: Liberia’s Bloom Bank Africa ran a one-day AI workshop for finance professionals in Monrovia, pushing practical AI use in banking decisions and reporting. Community Business Pressure: In Guam, Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero put Sinlaku damage to public infrastructure at about $435M, with a major disaster declaration request expected—potentially unlocking more relief for local recovery. Small Business Spotlight: Kansas’ Bright Minds Academy in Hays received an SBA-backed National Small Business Week award, highlighting how local childcare operators can scale with support.
