Governor Tate Reeves issued the following statement.
The U.S. Small Business Administration approved Governor Tate Reeves'
request for assistance for businesses affected by the Jackson Water
Crisis. Many businesses within Hinds County, including the City of
Jackson, have experienced economic losses due to total or near total
loss of water pressure following the Pearl River flooding in late August
2022.
With little to no running water throughout the city, businesses could
not serve, clean, cool, or sanitize, forcing them to either suffer
losses or temporarily shut down.
"These low interest loans will go a long way to support our Jackson
businesses and help them make it through the ongoing water crisis," said
Governor Tate Reeves. "I'm committed to ensuring that we both restore
clean water to the city and relieve the burdens of this crisis for
Jacksonians."
Businesses in Hinds County and the following contiguous counties are eligible to apply for Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs): Claiborne, Copiah, Madison, Rankin, Simpson, Warren, and Yazoo. These
loans help small businesses and most private, non-profit organizations
of all sizes meet their ordinary and necessary financial obligations
that cannot be met as a direct result of the disaster. These loans are
intended to assist through the disaster recovery period.
The application filing deadline is June 14, 2023.
Applicants may apply online, receive additional disaster assistance information, and download applications at https://

Too bad they can’t make Chokwe and Rukia the guarantors of the SBA loans since they caused the crisis. Too bad Choke won’t suffer any repercussions for his lies and ineptitude. Nobody should have to live this way. He should be charged with real crimes! There must be some sort of justice!
Sadly most of the people affected, who deserve justice, would be the first in line to defend him.
They will believe anything that demonizes Tate, and nothing that factually shows the blame is on Choke.
My blood pressure is grateful that I sold my home years ago, and realized the average Jxn citizen will vote for this type of leadership over and over.
Standing by for multiple incidents of fraud in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

Business: *further in debt, still affected by water crisis*
Memo to Jackson business owners: As big as it seems right now the water crisis is only the tip of the iceberg and if they ever get it half straightened out in the coming years there will be many many more crisis/disasters/heartbreaks waiting in the wings for you and your business. Good luck.
