PORT DEPOSIT â Community Connecting Us is looking for people willing to give their opinions on products and services, which in turn will help the asset based community development organization set up a fund to provide micro-loans to local folks with entrepreneurial spirit but no working capitol.
âThese will be very low interest loans,â said Erica Berge, president. They want the money to be a help, not a hindrance she said. That interest, however, will keep the fund viable.
Part of the reason Community Connecting Us began in the first place was to see people succeed, Berge explained. These micro-loans will allow that person with an idea for a cottage business or a service to open the doors by borrowing a small sum of money to get started.
