💰 This is a MILLION DOLLAR photo! Actually, it's worth even MORE! It may not look like much (excuse the messy conference room table), but it's a beautiful photo to us and the small business owners we serve. 📣 A big shoutout on this #ThankfulTuesday to the Michigan Legislature for the $1.5 MILLION to provide capital loans to more Michigan small businesses. Thank you to State Senator Mary Cavanagh for presenting the super-sized check to us at our board meeting last month. Our board and staff are excited about using the funds to help #michiganentrepreneurs thrive and Michigan communities prosper. 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 Michigan House of Representatives Michigan Senate Gretchen Whitmer #smallbusinessownersupport #michiganbusiness #CDFI
