“Contiguous counties in my legislative district also qualify for flood-relief recovery loans. If you live or have a business in Jersey, Calhoun, Greene or Madison counties and you experienced damages and losses from flooding then you may qualify for a low-interest loan.
Temporary Disaster Loan Outreach Centers (DLOC) have been set up to assist constituents with their loan application.
“The regional outreach center for our area is the QEM Fire House on the corner of Route 3 and Elsah Roads in Grafton. The firehouse will be open Wednesday, December 4 from 9 am to 6 pm and Thursday, December 5 from 9 am to 4 pm to help.
Davidsmeyer stated that constituents can contact his office if they’re unable to attend any of the outreach center’s open office hours.
“My office is available to help those who cannot make it to the regional outreach center this week. Please contact my Jerseyville office at (618) 639-2071 or my Jacksonville office at (217) 243-6221 if you need help completing your loan forms.
