A new program is providing loans to help companies save and create Colorado state jobs (Click here).
Gov. Bill Ritter recently announced that 42 additional small businesses have obtained loans through the Colorado Credit Reserve Program since an initial round of loans were handed out during the fall of 2009.
“Colorado is the poster child for how important small businesses are,” Ritter said. “They are the backbone of our economy and the engine that drives job-creation across the state. With the economy still struggling, one of the biggest challenges for small businesses remains access to credit. This program is providing vital loans to help small businesses survive, thrive and save and create jobs.”
