Carbondale Pursues Collected Debts From Minority Loans
Carbondale intends to press collection on $43,310 in uncollectable minority business loans from the Model Cities program. City officials say not a write off but ongoing efforts will target repayment while implementing controls for future programs. Nine of 22 loans remain active, with issues blamed on program start up and weak management. The council also weighs funding for CCDSC community development programs totaling $772,000 with health and child care as major items.
