Dane County Programs
The Dane County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program was formed in 1998 with 43 municipalities. Today there are 55 participating municipalities active in the Dane County Urban County Consortium.
Economic Development and Commercial Revitalization Funds
The County has two revolving loan funds that have separate, on-going application cycles. The funds will be used to stimulate economic development and to provide loans for commercial revitalization. These funds have been crucial in providing funding for small business development and expansion in the Dane County Urban Consortium.
Please see the fact sheet and application below for both the Commercial Revolving Loan Fund (CRLF) and the Revolving Loan Fund (RLF).
