The Allen Economic Development Group has a brand new website, and we built it with one goal in mind: to be more than just a place to learn about what’s happening in Lima and Allen County. We want aedg.org to be the first place you turn when you’re ready to start a business, grow one, or find your next opportunity in the region.
The new site features a fresh look, smooth navigation, and resources designed to connect businesses, residents, and investors with everything Allen County has to offer.
Here’s what you’ll find when you visit:
Incentives and Grants for New and Growing Businesses
Not sure what financial tools are available to your business? We’ve built out our resources to make that easier to navigate. From the D’Arcy Loan Fund for gap financing to the JobsOhio Small Business Grant, Allen County businesses have real options, and AEDG can help you figure out which ones apply to your situation. Visit our Incentives and Grants page to get started.
