LOS ANGELES : SBA Opens Information Center in South-Central
The Small Business Administration has opened an information center to serve residents in South-Central Los Angeles.
Located at 3600 Wilshire Blvd., the center will have counselors on hand to offer business advice. It also has a library containing videotapes and other materials providing information on starting businesses and applying for loans.
At the opening Thursday, SBA Regional Administrator Oscar Wright distributed checks to nine business owners whose stores were damaged in the spring riots. The checks put the total amount of relief funds disbursed by the SBA at $100 million, officials said.
