RUIDOSO, NM (November 3, 2025)—The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has announced the opening of a Disaster Loan Outreach Center (DLOC) at the Ruidoso Public Library, 107 Kansas City Road, to assist individuals and businesses affected by the June 23–August 5 severe storms, flooding, and landslides in Lincoln County.
The center is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. Walk-ins are welcome, and no appointment is necessary. SBA customer service representatives are available to answer questions, explain the loan process, and assist residents in completing disaster loan applications.
