District Director Mike Arriola and Team SBA Office of Disaster Recovery and Resilience welcomed SBA Deputy Administrator Dilawar Syed to Marion in western NC yesterday (Oct. 15). Deputy Syed toured the Disaster Recovery Center at McDowell Senior Center where FEMA and SBA personnel were hard at work helping McDowelll County residents recover from the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. The Deputy then visited Artesana Ice Cream on Main Street where owner Amie Myers recapped where the business is post-hurricane, particularly with wholesale clients. To round out the day, Mr. Syed led a roundtable discussion including Marion Mayor Steve Little, city and county officials, area nonprofits, and SBA resource partners, who shared their concerns about the challenges small businesses are facing in the area. The Deputy and Team SBA discussed available SBA disaster assistance to help not only small businesses, but also private nonprofits, homeowners, and renters within a whole-of-community context. #sbadisasterloans #hurricanehelene

District Director Mike Arriola and Southeast Regional Administrator Allen Thomas welcomed U.S. Small Business Administration Administrator Isabel Casillas Guzman to Asheville on Oct. 8. Joining Ms. Guzman were SBA Office of Disaster Recovery and Resilience's Francisco Sanchez, Kem Fleming, MBA, MPS-HLS, Edward Fears, and other team members. Administrator Guzman visited Corner Kitchen in hard-hit Biltmore Village to check in with Joe Scully and Kevin Westmoreland (he/him). Corner Kitchen endured the floods of 2004 and, twenty years later, faced even more prolific flooding by Hurricane Helene. Next, Administrator Guzman met with Angela and Bryan King of 12 Bones Smokehouse in the River Arts District, also a hard-hit section of Asheville. Angela and Bryan just reopened their 12 Bones South location today on Hendersonville Rd. Administrator Guzman concluded her tour with a visit to the SBA Business Recovery Center at the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce -- SBA team members were hard at work with the many customers who came to start their SBA disaster applications. With gratitude to the following who joined: Congresswoman Kathy Manning, Kye Laughter of U.S. Sen. Ted Budd's Office, Mayor Esther Manheimer; Drew Christy, Director of Gov. Roy Cooper's Western Office; Kit Cramer of the Asheville Chamber; and many others. #sbadisasterassistance #thelandofsky #peopletomatchourmountains #hurricanehelene
