Revolving Loan Fund Available to Improve Downtown Store Fronts

The Mount Carroll CDC and the City of Mount Carroll have partnered to establish a Downtown Enhancement Revolving Loan Fund. This program allows downtown storefront owners to borrow up to $5,000 interest free to make improvements to their existing downtown building.

These improvements must be made to the outside of the building, with safety items such as new glass, entryways, and sidewalks being the major consideration. Cosmetic items may also be approved based upon the availability of funds. The borrower repays 20% of the loan amount annually over a 5-year period of time.

Funds are limited and will be available on a first come, first served basis. The City of Mount Carroll has committed $15,000 over the next five years toward the funding of the program. The Mount Carroll Historic Preservation Advisory Committee and the Mount Carroll Community Development Corporation will serve as the administrators of the program.

Applications are available at the Mount Carroll City Hall.
