Both cities approved policies in recent years that will eventually require employers to pay at least $15 an hour a mark that all Minneapolis businesses are expected to meet by 2024, followed by St. Paul businesses in 2027.

JLDC Adds Two New Loan Programs
The City of
Department of Development Director
Crystal Surdyk said some of the old loan programs were not being utilized as much or needed to be restructured. She said one of the new programs is geared toward loans in the amount of $10,000 to $15,000 dollars, “And because, you know, there were often times businesses that are applying for loans they don’t need that $70,000 or $100,000 loan. They really need something that’s a bit smaller just to get them going, help them get started.”
Surdyk said the other new loan program was an old program that had its language simplified, “Just taking out extraneous language. We had some loans that were specific to artisans. We had loans that were specific to what they were going to use the loan for, so we just put them together into one category rather than having separate loans for very specific items or very specific uses.”
