+ METCO board has changed its policy to allow cooperative businesses to receive loans
 The Louisville Metro Government’s Metropolitan Business Development Corporation (METCO) board this month approved a change in its policy to allow for lending to cooperative businesses, widening access to these loans.
This change will open up lending to members of cooperative businesses who could not previously seek loans because the previous policy only allowed lending to shareholders or owners with 20% or more ownership in a business. Under a cooperative-owned-business model, no single person has an ownership interest of 20% or greater.
