Special Activities for Economic Development

The overall goal for the CDBG Section 108 program is to provide small business loan opportunities for local entrepreneurs.  These loans exist for growth and increase capacity and business owners are required to create permanent jobs principally for low and moderate-income citizens.

The CDBG Section 108 program encourages small business start-ups to work closely with the Alabama Small Business Development Center at Auburn University.  For more information on starting a business in Alabama, please visit the Alabama Small Business Development Center.
