Marquette County Financial Tools Inventory

The Marquette County Financial Tools Inventory is a comprehensive inventory of financial tools available for businesses and economic development projects in Marquette County. The inventory includes financial programs available at the federal, state and local levels to businesses, communities and nonprofits.

One of the barriers that companies and communities face when seeking economic development funding is the lack of concise, accessible information – there just isn’t time to identify and understand each of the hundreds of resources that are available. This inventory will allow businesses and communities to quickly identify financial resources appropriate for businesses, communities and nonprofits in Marquette County.

The inventory includes a brief description and basic eligibility criteria for each resource. It also includes a link to the resources Web site for more information such as loan or grant amounts, loan amortization periods, interest rates and additional contact information.

Existing regional businesses, businesses interested in locating in the region and local communities are encouraged to contact Lake Superior Community Partnership for assistance in accessing the region’s diverse financial resources.
