Innovation + investment = economic success
With the development now underway in Elkhart’s central business district, there has never been a better time to invest in Downtown Elkhart.
If you have ever thought of investing in retail, entertainment or the restaurant business there is a great opportunity for you. Local financial institutions are working together to offer capital you need to make your dream of owning or expanding a business come true.
The Gateway Mile Loan Fund (GMLF) has been established for use in new construction, business expansion, new equipment, and building rehabilitation.
The GMLF boundaries are the Main Street bridge to the north, south along Main Street to the Mishawaka Road intersection, 3rd Street serves as the western boundary, and Prairie Street to the Johnson Street Bridge to the west.
