Sometimes being 'sustainable' means getting others to buy into your vision.  More often than not incorporating sustainable practices into your business plan isn't the first thought to come to your mind especially if your a small business.  Realizing this SLIP (Sustainable Local Investments Project) is offering free one-day training to lenders and other community development professionals. 

The idea is to show how lenders viewing projects and proposals with a view towards sustainability can help smaller businesses prosper while developing our region's long-term livability.
