OGDEN — The city council adopted a resolution Tuesday night that officials say will provide a boost to new small-business owners.

The resolution is included in the city’s five-year consolidated plan and creates a Community Development Block Grant-funded “loan loss” program aimed at promoting business development by leveraging grants to secure loans from larger loan pools that could then be given to small businesses.

Terrence Bride, assistant business development manager for Ogden, said the loan program is needed to provide otherwise viable small businesses with loan options when traditional loan and investment opportunities aren’t available.
