Barnes Flood Recovery, More Loans

 MINOT, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota homeowners who were flooded two years ago are seeking about $3.6 million in loans from a state program that began taking applications Oct. 1, 2013
 
     The Bank of North Dakota reports it has received 182 applications in the Supplemental Rebuilders Loan Program, which offers low-interest loans of up to $20,000 to homeowners who previously received loans from the original Rebuilders Loan Fund. The original loan limit was $30,000.
 
    Homeowners who received the original loans have until Dec. 31, 2013 to apply for a supplemental loan. To be eligible, homeowners must be living in their residences that were damaged by Souris River and Missouri River flooding in 2011 in Barnes, Benson, Burleigh, McHenry, Morton, Ramsey, Renville, Richland or Ward counties.
