North End Matters

You've always wanted to start your own business, but you don't know where to start. Or maybe you recently launched a business but don't have a business plan necessary to get the loans you need. To help you with these and other entrepreneurial aspirations, we''re launching the Business Plan Writing Course and Microloan program. If you complete the course, you will be eligible to apply for a microloan (of at least $500)!

After several requests from business leaders in the community to create diversity programs, NECIC is excited to announce the launch of AALI, the African American Leadership Initiative!

A presentation about the program and applications for CDBG and HOME funds will also be available at the meeting. Staff will be on hand to answer questions.
