Comment: On December 16, 2008 the City Council Economic Development Committee recommended $35,000 in funding for this project. The Council Economic Development Committee recommended that these funds be a loan at 3% interest for a term of 7 years. Due to high owner commitment in the business, the owner's completion of a detailed business plan with market research, and a history of paying loan obligations, the committee recommended funding this business even though the loan will not be fully secured. The loan will be partially secured by a lien on the owner's rental property and a financing statement on all business assets. Said business qualifies as amicro-enterprise under the CDBG program.
