Downtown Great Falls is on the brink of growth and change with consistent and positive momentum that has been building and with the many opportunities for redevelopment at hand. Investing into downtown and being proactive may be a very wise choice at this time in our downtown’s history.
We have put together a package and ask that you please review the information refl ecting our recent and successful downtown development, public projects, and the current projects that are in the making.
It is important for us to share our accomplishments with one another to keep the positive momentum moving forward to new heights. We encourage more investment into the heart of our city and wish to foster, support, and to watch them grew. We appreciate all the commitment and loyalty that many show towards downtown Great Falls and are very excited to see where the future will take us.
If you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact Brett Doney or Robert Smith at 406.771.9020. Enjoy Downtown Great Falls
Sincerely,
Robert Smith

The funds can be used as gap fi nancing for commercial and multi-family residential real estate renovations, improvements and new construction.

Applicants can apply for a maximum loan of 20% of the total project or $100,000. Loans may be amortized up to 20 years with a balloon repayment within 5 years. The intent of the Fund is to fi ll fi nancing gaps between what banks can lend for a project and available equity. Loans from the Fund will be subordinate to bank fi nancing.
