In January 2021, MCDC matched the company record for number of approvals in one month with 19 and set a record for monthly approved dollars at $18.6 million. The 19 projects were spread across 11 counties supporting $55 million in economic development and impacted 801 jobs.
MCDC President Mark Williams stated “The pace of new business activity is encouraging, especially considering the fact there are many industries still struggling with COVID recovery. MCDC is proud to support the lenders and small business owners in their quest to create jobs and have a positive impact on the state’s economy.”

MCDC VP-Operations Dave Kramer added, “Since July of last year, there has been a steady flow of applications. We want to advise both the borrowers and lenders that SBA turn times have been stretched but applications are getting approved and the long-term benefits are worth the wait. The timing makes it that much more important to have complete packages to submit. I want to recognize the MCDC Loan Officers and the phenomenal Underwriting Team led by Marnie Spitzley for their diligence in working through the loans and doing our part to keep the engine of Michigan small business humming.”
MCDC VP-504 Lending Eric Kehler added “Fee waiver and several months of payment relief (as long as appropriations last) that were included in the Economic Aid Act are expected to increase deal flow even more in the coming months. If your client has a real estate or equipment financing need or you want to lock in those clients with very attractive long-term interest rates and fee waiver, talk to your MCDC Loan Officer today. It will be worth it.”
