Businesses affected by last month's massacre in Highland Park can apply for help from the federal Small Business Administration.

"Of the 114 businesses that were directly affected, the majority of them are service-based industries, business services, personal services," said Geri Aglipay, of the SBA. "The second highest was restaurant services. Now you can imagine they have to throw out a lot of food that day because -- that's a lot! Then the third one was retail."Owners who think they can document financial damages caused by the massacre can get assistance applying for a loan.

The deadline for completing an application is Apr. 25, 2023. Among costs covered are mental health services to cope with the killings. "The business resource center for the first time is opening today. It will be here until next Thursday, August 11th, at 4 p.m. and so no one should feel they have to process this alone. There's people here to help," said Rep. Brad Schneider, D-Ill.

Officials believe there was a "ripple effect" of financial damage from the July 4 massacre, so businesses in Lake, McHenry and Kenosha counties are eligible to apply for help, if they can document losses they suffered.that I have read and agree
