Dear Downtown Syracuse Business Owners,

 

The Syracuse Economic Development Corporation (SEDCO) has created a dedicated $500,000 fund to provide zero-percent interest, 180-day emergency loans to small businesses in the City.  Up to $25,000 (average loan size will be $10,000) per business is available, and the City intends to issue loan approvals within 7 days of an application.

 

If this program is of interest to you, please consider applying soon as there may be high demand for the resources available.
