The Town of Carbondale (Town) developed the Revolving Loan Fund (CRLF) to enhance the ability of local businesses to secure the necessary capital to finance start-ups, operations, or expansion.
The loan fund was set up in 2002 with a 50/50 partnership with the USDA. The Town and the USDA both contributed $50,000.
In addition to providing access to capital, CRLF is designed to help stimulate job creation and retention. Loans are available to new or established businesses that are located within the town limits of the Town of Carbondale.

The guideline for the amount to be requested is $5,000 to $25,000.

The term of each loan will depend on repayment capabilities and the purpose of the loan. Repayment is monthly and loans are usually no longer than a 36-month term (3 years).
To-date, the fund has ~$150,000 to loan to for-profit and non-profit businesses based in Carbondale.
