Revere Small Business Loan Program

The Revere Department of Planning and Community Development (DPCD) has announced their Small Business Loan Program. In general, the loan limit will be $35,000. For loan requests determined to have significant job and business growth potential, the loan limit may be extended up to a maximum of $75,000.

Businesses must have a physical location within the community and be income eligible. This requirement ensures that the funding directly supports local enterprises and contributes to our neighborhood's economic growth. Businesses must also meet Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program criteria. 

Please ensure that your business meets these requirements before submitting your application. For further inquiries or clarification on eligibility, feel free to contact Tarik Maddrey or John Festa or call the DPCD office.

If you are interested, the application is available here in English and Spanish. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis.

You can read more about the program's policies and procedures here (English) and aquí (español).

• Reducing the need for police enforcement
• Enhancing the street environment
• Preserving neighborhood character and livability
• Increasing access for all modes of transportation

The City of Revere’s new Traffic Calming Policy looks to create a clear, data-driven process to develop Traffic Calming strategies throughout the city.  The policy includes a list of potential calming strategies, and overview of the approvals process, and a petition that must be submitted in order to initiate your traffic calming strategy.
