Community Development and Small Business Lending

Community Development Lending requires innovative thinking and often times the use of diverse partners to manage multiple layers of risk. From pre-development loans to bridge loans to the use of low-income housing tax credits, Dollar Bank’s corporate and commercial real estate lenders work with non-profit organizations, government entities and private borrowers to complete community development projects that spur job growth, enhance the tax base and strengthen the community’s economic viability.

Working with federal, state and local governments, the Bank’s lenders have found creative ways to help reclaim abandoned “brown field” industrial sites, save and retool older buildings and restore vibrancy to the inner cities of both Cleveland and Pittsburgh.

The Small Business Administration has also designated Dollar Bank a Certified SBA Lender in order to help small entrepreneurs obtain the finances they need when they need them.

The longevity and success of Dollar Bank is rooted in an intense effort to provide the products and services that reflect the needs of its customers and in turn, the needs of its communities. Contact us today to talk about the economic development and business opportunities in your community.
