Low-interest loans of up to $200,000 are available to homeowners to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate. SBA regulations permit loans up to $40,000 to repair or replace personal property. Businesses and nonprofits can borrow up to $2 million to restore damaged or destroyed buildings, inventory, equipment and assets. Loan amounts and terms are set by the SBA and are based on each applicant’s financial qualifications. The SBA will establish Disaster Loan Outreach Centers (DLOC) to assist anyone who wishes to apply for a loan. The DLOC’s will be open at the following locations and times: York County Department of Emergency Services Training Room 120 Davies Dr. York, PA 17402 Lancaster County Public Safety Training Center Conference Room 101 Champ Blvd. Manheim, PA 17545 Opening: Monday, Oct. 22, 10 a.m. Closed: Sunday, Oct. 28 Days: Monday – Friday: 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 27: 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Closing: Monday, Oct. 29: 6p.m. SBA customer service representatives will be on hand at the disaster loan outreach centers to issue loan applications, answer questions about the disaster loan program, explain the application process and help individuals to complete their applications.

Carlson, Inc. for their MANY years of continued support of our community. You’ve heard of G.O. Carlson Boulevard and seen the G.O. Carlson Inc. office complex and historic home on Marshallton-Thorndale Road, but you may not be familiar with the story of this local company, which began over 80 years ago. In 1936, an engineer - Gunard O. Carlson, purchased the “Mineral Springs Farm” in Thorndale at a sheriff sale for $7,400 and, along with his family, took up residence there. Gunard (with the help of his wife, Margaret) soon kicked off a successful stainless steel business which provided custom stainless products for the chemical industry. Business started booming and G.O. Carlson expanded to a new building on the farm which included a machine shop, small office and three room apartment. By 1939, G.O. Carlson had 25 employees. The company was a pioneer in developing new methods for forming, cutting, and processing stainless steel plates. Their primary customers during this time, were the Du Pont Company and later the U.S. Government. After the war, G.O. Carlson products were used to build many of the modern industries that power the world economy today. In 1946, G.O. Carlson, Inc. expanded to the Lukens plant in Coatesville where they operated until that too grew too small. Today, G.O. Carlson Inc. has facilities throughout Pennsylvania and has diversified to include production of other metal alloys. The company is still run by Gunard and Margaret’s descendants. G.O. Carlson steel plates have been used in: The first nuclear submarine, the Nautilus The first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the Enterprise The first nuclear power plant built by Westinghouse at Shippingport, PA Bobsled runners for the U.S. Olympic team Telescopes built in the desert of Saudi Arabia The space shuttle program, a fusion reactor, the B-1 bomber, and the Fast Flux Test Facility. In addition to their many business and scientific achievements, the Carlson family was very philanthropic and involved in the community, serving on multiple Boards of Trustees and making many contributions to local charities. G.O. Carlson was a major supporter of the Caln Township Centennial Celebration in 1968, and is a presenting sponsor of our 150th Anniversary activities.
