## Resource

Governor Wes Moore is rallying for federal disaster loans to rescue small businesses crippled by the Empire Towers collapse—where a partial garage failure forced an evacuation and left tenants scrambling. With SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loans offering up to $2 million at 4% interest over 30 years, plus a one-year grace period, these funds could cover rent, payroll, and utilities—even for businesses untouched by physical damage. Local leaders are stepping in too, with Anne Arundel County offering smaller grants and urging more support as businesses face mounting costs, trapped cars, and uncertain futures.
