Summary
Crescent, Iowa, businesses are reeling from Omaha Streetcar construction, with longtime brewery owner Bill Baburek reporting a two-decade low in sales and forced layoffs. In response, the city launched a multi-phase Streetcar Business Impact Fund offering grants and forgivable loans—Bill already secured a $10K grant after proving a 10% profit drop. Phase two now opens for applications, offering up to $50K at just 2% interest for any business showing even a small revenue dip. More loan tiers are available, all designed to help local shops survive the construction chaos and rebound stronger. Apply now at NebBiz.org.
