Two Rivers’ business committee brought back a rule: if a business wants city-backed borrowing from the revolving loan fund, it has to show job creation. Staff also reported the fund sits just over $1 million, with three loans being repaid. The latest meeting reviewed revolving-loan and TIF district balances and strategy, but took no formal action.
