The SBIF application period is open November 1–30 to businesses located in the Little Village East TIF district. \nThe SBIF grant is funded by local Tax Increment Financing (TIF) revenue and may be used to reimburse up to 90% of pre-approved construction costs\, with a maximum of $75\,000 for multi-tenant properties\, $150\,000 for commercial properties and $250\,000 for industrial properties.
