Under Citizen Participation Plan section Add the Guaranteed Loan Program to CDBG, HOME, HOPWA and ESG programs

The space will be used to expand entrepreneurial businesses creation which in turn will create jobs in Detroit, Highland Park, Hamtramck and the balance of Wayne County

Notice is hereby also given that County of Wayne is applying for a $2.1 million HUD Section 108 guaranteed loan to match a $2.0 million BEDI Grant already awarded to Wayne County to finance the tenant improvement for the TechTown Building at 440 Burroughs in the City of Detroit to expand the space available for entrepreneurial businesses and Technology based programs. No program income is anticipated. The programs are projected to create up to 1100 jobs over the next three years.

The loan will be secured by independent collateral and guaranteed by the CDBG allocation to Wayne County. The annual distribution of CDBG funds to Wayne County Primary Jurisdiction communities are not effected.

The program meets the national objectives by serving areas of low income and providing business loans and job opportunities to low to moderate income residents of Detroit, Highland Park, Hamtramck, Ecorse, River Rouge, Melvindale, and Inkster.
