Tompkins County Rural Small Business Loan Program

Tompkins County Rural Small Business Loan Program

The Tompkins County Rural Small Business Loan Program assists small business owners located in the rural areas of the County. The program is a partnership with Alternatives Federal Credit Union, which provides training, technical assistance, and loan underwriting. Tompkins County funds the loan component of the program, providing low-interest loans to qualified applicants ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 for equipment and working capital to start up or enhance business operations in rural areas.

This program is funded by repaid U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Small Cities Community Development Block Grants funds previously awarded to Tompkins County for economic development loans.

NorthStar House - Elliot Martin, Jed Ashton and Lee Hamilton

At NorthStar House, we use as many local, organic vegetables and meats as we can, so you have our word that we will do all we can to help the community grow in the healthiest way possible. Naturally we bank at Alternatives, not only because they share our goals of community development, but they also provide the tools to make those goals a reality. Alternatives has been there for us from the beginning, helping us develop a business plan in the Business CENTS program, and continues to support us as we grow and have new financial needs.
