The County Reinvestment Area offers tax abatement on real property for a variety of businesses. Contact Angela Hamberg, Executive Director at the Regional Planning Commission for more information.
Housing
Regional Planning has several housing assistance programs including: housing rehabilitation; tenant-based rental assistance; and home repair assistance.
The housing rehabilitation program provides interest free, deferred loans that are 80% forgiven over a four year period to make major repairs to rundown, owner occupied houses.
The tenant-based rental assistance is provided in coordination with Shelby Metropolitan Housing Authority.
The repair program (CHIP) provides assistance for houses experiencing a major defect such as a faulty furnace, septic system or leaky roof.
