Ortonville Commercial Building Interest Survey - 2022

Ortonville Commercial Rehabilitation– 2022
The city of Ortonville is preparing an application to Minnesota’s Small Cities Development Program (SCDP).

$5,000             10% SCDP installment loan (1% interest over 5 years, owner responsibility)

Question Title

* 12. I understand that (all boxes must be checked):

SCDP funds are limited and in competition and may not be awarded.

No “remodeling” can be done with SCDP funds.

There will be a deferred loan (lien) placed upon my building for the SCDP funding for seven years. If the building is sold or changes owners in that time, the remaining un-forgiven loan must be paid back to the city.

The rehabilitation must be coordinated through the site administrator for the project. Competitive bidding, Davis Bacon wage rates and terms will apply to the project. Any improvements done before coordinating with the site administrator will NOT be eligible for SCDP funding.

If your commercial property participated in the last SCDP program it may still be eligible for additional funding for projects however properties that did not participate in the last round will receive first priority.

The building must be occupied. No vacant building will be rehabilitated with SCDP funds.
