City of Jackson launches Fix 36 Program to help small businesses

The City’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Department and the Community Development Department have unveiled the Fix 36 Program, designed to bridge the gap between the high cost of building renovations and entrepreneurial spirit. The program offers new business owners the chance to open their doors sooner while gradually bringing their facilities up to code over a 36-month period.

Participants work with the Community Development Department to create a schedule that aligns with their financial capabilities, detailing when each phase of work will be completed. A refundable $2,500 escrow deposit is required to show a financial commitment to meeting the compliance schedule. The first step in the program is bringing the building up to safety standards.

Fix 36 is particularly aimed at helping businesses in neighborhood commercial corridors, where economic revitalization is most needed.

Business owners are invited to call 517-788-4060 or visit the department office on the 3rd Floor of City Hall, 161 W. Michigan Ave.
