Happy National Donut Day! 🍩

We spent the morning at the Salvation Army of Michigan City's Donut Eating Contest. Miley stayed back at the office because it wouldn't have been fair to the competition. Some champions don't need trophies. 🏆🐾

A great morning at RDC & Northwest Indiana Regional Growth Fund for the Northwest Indiana Forum's LEDO meeting. Thank you, James Messer, of INvets, for taking the time to speak to our group! We enjoyed learning about INvets' mission across the state.

We also took time for a roundtable, where economic development professionals across the Region shared upcoming projects, recent wins, and challenges. We always enjoy spending time with this group!

One of the most common questions our Chief Lending Officer, Niccole Zell, gets asked is: “How long does the SBA 504 loan process take?”

Here’s a look at the typical timeline! ⏳

From start to finish, Niccole works closely with both the Bank and the SBA to help keep the process moving smoothly for borrowers. We’re always happy to answer questions and help make the financing process easier to navigate!
