The City of Fishers is working to ensure the safety and health of residents and employees remains critical to the recovery of the community now that Governor Holcomb has deemed the state of Indiana may begin to relax COVID-19 mitigation efforts.
The Fishers Economic Development team is available to support entrepreneurs and businesses during the current stay-at-home order and prepare businesses and their employees for the relaxing of those orders.
While federal and local funding are available for small businesses to support ongoing operating costs, the Fishers Start-Up and Recovery Loan program provides funds for small businesses which will need an influx of capital as they begin to restart their normal operations.
A review committee with members of the Fishers Redevelopment Commission, OneZone, and the City’s Finance Committee will review applications and determine awards. The City of Fishers has identified $500,000 for these loans, and each applicant can request up to $15,000 for the loan.
