Disaster Aid: The SBA is opening or expanding low-interest disaster loans for businesses hit by fires and floods in Washington, Nebraska, Wisconsin, West Virginia and other states. Spokane’s loan center will remain open through December; Nebraska businesses can access loans with rates as low as 4%, and no payments or interest accrue in the first year. AI Support: Rhode Island small businesses can get free AI training and consulting through a new $1.6 million federal-backed program at Bryant University, aimed at helping firms adopt the technology and compete. Local Financing: PeopleFund is expanding into Texarkana, bringing small-business loans, grants and other resources to the area. Rural Operations: Western Kentucky business owners rely on dependable mail for shipping and receiving; a local opinion piece warns that Postal Service cuts could hit rural communities first.**
