Forwarding from Tom Berry in Senator Leahy’s office:
Agricultural programs were excluded from the first round of applications for this program. That was changed in the subsequent action by Congress. Now SBA is opening applications exclusively for agriculture. The portal is otherwise closed while SBA works through a backlog, and the reopening seems to be exclusive to agriculture.
Those who are inclined to apply should do so as soon as possible.
