CORE Capital Loan Program

Effective June 1, 2022, in order to apply for a loan you must have a leased or owned business location

The state grant funds have been expended and loans will now be funded by the revolving loan fund, which is dependent upon loan repayment to have funds for future loans. We anticipate funds for one to two loans per month. The loan fund balance can be found under CCL data.
