Loan Icon

Lane County, the City of Eugene, City of Springfield,  and Community LendingWorks have developed a new Small Business Emergency Loan Fund for Lane County businesses. Lane County has committed $200,000. The cities of Springfield and Eugene each committed $100,000 - bringing the total to $400,000 in available funds.

Eligible businesses include those with 20 FTE or fewer as of the end of 2019. Of the total funds, $120,000 will be reserved for businesses located outside of Eugene or Springfield. The funds will be managed by Community Lending Works and interested businesses will be able to apply starting at noon on Sunday, March 22, at www.communitylendingworks.org.

As a reminder, many Lowell businesses remain open. This includes the service establishments of Bridgetown Market, Stomping Grounds Coffee Shop, and Armando's Mexican Restaurant, which are all open for takeout. If you are able, please think local first and do what you can to support our area businesses!
