How much SBA lending goes to Council businesses?
10 7(a) approvals totaling $731,500 since FY2020, across 3 lenders, median approval $45,050. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Council, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Council borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Council. Only 2 loans have reached a final outcome, fewer than the 30 a charge-off rate needs, so no rate is published. The counts are shown instead.
Is Council in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Council appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Council, city of, community 160005, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Council figures?
No, and they are labeled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Adams County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Council.
Is zoning published for Council?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
