An upcoming informational meeting hosted by WesBanco will introduce the New Markets Loan Program, which aims to help individuals looking to start or grow their businesses despite financial constraints. The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday at 11:30 AM and will delve into the program's purpose of stimulating economic growth and investment in underserved communities, particularly in Steubenville. This innovative initiative is designed for those who may struggle to secure traditional financing and is part of a broader effort to enhance local economic development. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the specifics of the loan program, including eligibility criteria and application processes. By targeting economically disadvantaged areas, the program seeks to create jobs and foster community revitalization.

Local entrepreneurs and potential business owners are strongly encouraged to participate, as it could provide them with valuable resources and support. The initiative reflects a commitment to building a more inclusive economy in the region. Community involvement in such programs is essential for ensuring sustainable growth and development.
