Mayor Greg Fischer today announced the 13 local businesses that will receive loans from a Louisville Metro Government program for local “microenterprises.”

The recipients, all low- to moderate-income entrepreneurs, include a video production group, an event rental space, a fashion business, a tax service, two childcare facilities, and four catering businesses. Microenterprises are businesses that employee five or fewer individuals, including the owner.

Neighborhood Place locations in Louisville will offer several opportunities for healthy workshops and screenings in June including blood pressure checks, an educational baby shower and colon cancer screenings.

Both programs are primarily funded through Senior Corps, a division of the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS).
