SBA opens local office at visitor’s center

To expedite assistance to small business owners affected by the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion, the Florida Small Business Administration has taken up office space at the Navarre Visitor's Information Center.

The center, which opened for business Tuesday, will provide assistance to applicants seeking a loan to offset expenses as a result of the oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico. It is one of eight established in neighboring counties.
