2010 Downtown Year-end Snapshot

“ In an economic climate best described as grim, there were eight new businesses started in the Main Street zone in 2010. Two closed. Seventeen new full-time jobs were added. Four were lost. There were 31 part-time jobs added. “ Now the addition of 13 jobs will scarcely show up in Kankakee County statistics … but it shows what can be done. While many think of the large, sweeping solutions, the tiny step may be the critical one. “ Main Street Momence is really a whole bunch of ideas wrapped into one office … and it’s working.” Daily Journal editorial, September 21, 2011

To serve as an incentive for economic development in the downtown core
To serve as a low-interest, gap financing source
To retain employment in the downtown district
To stimulate commercial activity in the downtown district
To provide financing to business owners for a variety of needs, including repairs, equipment and building maintenance
To recruit business and create jobs in the downtown commercial district
Distributions to Date
6 loans approved
5 @ $15,000
1 @ $8,000
$83,000 distributed $66,000 available (as of 10-25-11)

“ Main Street Momence had laid much of the groundwork necessary to be considered for the U.S. Rural Development Grant. Their investment in the Greenburg Development Study and their pursuit of a National Register of Historic Places designation placed them in serious contention for this competitive funding. “ One of Kankakee County’s most active, engaged and effective non-profit organizations, Main Street Momence is a vital partner in the regional economic development landscape.” -Mike Van Mill, Economic Alliance of Kankakee County

The Daily Journal , October 2, 2010

Education & Networking
“ The Marketing seminar that Main Street Momence hosted at Johnny Angel’s in 2010 was unbelievably valuable. I’ve paid thousands of dollars for training of that caliber.”
Steve Gross,
Sensei Steve’s Karate Center
