I encourage anyone who has not completed their disaster loan ap-plication to meet with Customer Service Representatives at one of the Disaster Recovery Centers for one-on-one assistance.” The counties of Culpeper, Flu-vanna, Goochland, Louisa, Orange, Spotsylvania and the independent city of Fredericksburg are eligible for both Physical and Economic Injury Disaster Loans from the SBA.
