The Town operates a Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) to assist small businesses within the

Town's boundaries with expansions, renovations, equipment, and other projects.  Loan

applications up to $25,000, are processed by the Code Office, and loan approvals are

made by the Loan Review Board.  Those interested in making such an application

should do so well in advance of anticipated need, as there may be standing

applications awaiting approval or awaiting sufficient on-hand funds to close.  RLF funds

are intended to complement other resources such as bank loans and equity 

injections.  To obtain an application to this fund, call the Code Office at 778-5874.
