The City of Geneva’s Economic Development Department offers financial assistance programs to help fund development and redevelopment projects that advance the goals of the community as set forth in the City’s planning documents.These financial programs are designed to address private funding gaps that make an investment infeasible “but for” the public assistance provided.Potential projects are reviewed on a case-by-case basis with consideration given to the project’s financials and to the impacts of the development to the City’s economic health and vitality. Some examples of incentives used include Tax increment financing, sales tax rebates, and grant programs.Financial assistance is also available through Federal and State programs, including SBA loans, Advantage Illinois loans and EDGE tax credits.
