The North Country Alliance was recently notified that it is receiving a 6th loan from the U.S. Department of Agriculture through its Intermediary Relending Program for $750,000. 

The funds will go a long way in supporting business growth in the North Country. As part of the application, the NCA matched the funding with $50,000 in non-federal funds. To date, the following partners have contributed toward the match contribution: Watertown Savings Bank, Community Bank, Pursuit Lending, and NBT Bank. Thank you to these lending partners! 

The NCA is still seeking partners interested in contributing financially toward the match to secure the $750,000 loan. Contact Michelle Capone at mcapone@danc.org to learn more. 

Watertown-based Timeless Decor lost 40 percent of its business four years ago when their largest client, a major crafts retailer, closed its doors. They were forced to lay off 40 people, but instead of closing up shop, they continued to work to refill their client base. With help from the JCIDA and the NCA, as well as intense focus on rebuilding, Timeless Frames is turning around. Channel 7 News tells the story at this link.

Exciting Progress on a Loan Project

There is now a building, tower, cottages and additional ground improvements on this land, bringing the vision of Sally Port View as an event space in the Town of Lyme very close to opening. This event space with beautiful views will bring hundreds of new faces to the area each week delivering considerable economic impact. 

"The possibilities are endless." Because the space is open, and there are a variety of facilities including a commercial kitchen and guest cabins, Sally Port View is suitable for a wide variety of private, public and corporate events. Sally Port View is slated to open in the spring.
