CANASTOTA, N.Y. — Assistance is now available for residents in Madison, Oneida and Otsego counties affected by the June 22 storms.
Homeowners can apply for U.S. Small Business Administration low-interest disaster loans to help with recovery.
The storms on June 22 left thousands without power, and there were many areas that experienced flooding.
An EF-1 tornado tore through Clark Mills in the early morning hours of June 22. Three people died as a result of that storm.
A Disaster Loan Outreach Center is open at the Village of Canastota offices for those needing help in Madison County.
The Disaster Loan Outreach Center opens on Aug. 23, and it will operate until Sept. 5, providing support to the community at 205 South Peterboro St.
From the Madison County Board of Supervisors, here are the hours for the center.
- Mondays–Fridays: 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Closed on Labor Day.)
- Saturdays: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
- Sundays: Closed
- Permanently Closes: Friday, Sept. 5 at 4 p.m.
The deadline to apply for loans for physical property damage is Oct. 20, according to the governor’s office.
“Federal disaster relief is one of the most important tools we have to help families and businesses recover, and my office is here to assist anyone in NY-22 who needs help navigating the application process or securing this support,” U.S. Rep. John Mannion said.
