Springfield, IL – Southern Illinois residents, businesses and farmers affected by flooding may be able to take advantage of the state's disaster loan program. State Treasurer Dan Rutherford says loans are available to qualified applicants through the Illinois Disaster Recovery program. The interest on loans obtained through the program is capped at 3%, which are lent through participating banks. Flood victims who expect reimbursement from insurance can take up to a year to pay off the loans. Others have up to five years.
