Pasco EDC urges small businesses to apply for $50M in bridge loans

Pasco County’s Economic Development Council is advising small business owners to seek help from a $50 million state loan program as they begin to rebuild or address damage from Hurricane Milton.

While it’s Pasco’ EDC that made the announcement, the funding and survey are available to companies in affected counties across the state. That includes Charlotte, Collier, Hillsborough, Lee, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk and Sarasota.

The money is coming from the Small Business Emergency Bridge Loan Program which is being administered through the Florida Department of Commerce.
