County-wide micro-loan program

County-wide Micro-Loan Program for Commercial Buildings Sponsored by BCEDC

Are you a commercial building owner who has been considering making improvements to the exterior of your building?  Maybe you thought about purchasing a new awning or a new sign.  How about getting your building repainted or replacing windows.

A low-interest revolving loan program sponsored by the Burt County Economic Development Corporation (BCEDC) might just be the ticket! The Burt County Façade Improvement Program is a revolving loan fund that is funded by the Burt County Economic Development Corporation.  All funding is made available through private dollars.

Funds are available for exterior improvements and/or signage to storefront commercial buildings.  These funds are available at an interest rate of 2%, with the loan to be repaid in sixty monthly installments.  The maximum loan amount is $5,500 per project and applicants will need to provide a 15% cash match.

“We are extremely pleased to be able to provide a tool to be used for storefront renovations throughout Burt County.  This low-interest loan will not only be great for the building owner, but the improvements will help in the total community development of our county,” said Patty Plugge, Executive Director of BCEDC.

Applications are available at the BCEDC office at the Burt County Courthouse.
