...retirement community.? I'am looking for different ideas on how to get Government funding or lending and other donations from local large companies. My business will bring 100's of jobs to the area and create a safe and healthy community for the elderly. I have sketches and scaled drawings of my building and a complete business plan along with quotes from two local construction companies. Now I'm left with having to come up with a large amount of money and have no ideas where to begin. I'm going to try local banks if I have to but would rather use that as a last resort if I can find money else where. I have heard that the Government offers low interest loans and grants to qualified individuals. I would really appreciate any information on how to go about getting started with this.
