What Does the LDC Offer?

The LDC provides business loans to both new and expanding companies within the Town of Plattsburgh. These loans are designed to fill the financial gaps that traditional institutions may not fully cover, helping businesses achieve their goals while creating local jobs.

  • Loan Amounts: Up to $30,000 (larger amounts considered on a case-by-case basis).
  • Job Creation Goal: One new job for every $15,000 loaned.
  • Underwriting Partner: The Adirondack Economic Development Corporation (AEDC), based in Saranac Lake, evaluates applications and provides economic development expertise.
