SUCCESS STORIES

Our borrowers are thriving.

“Ash & Elm Cider has been fortunate to work with the folks at King Park over the last year as we’ve gotten our business off the ground. Their low-interest loan made it possible for us to get the quality equipment we needed to make our business run smoothly and start at the size we wanted it to. We’re really excited to bring our business and patrons to the Near Eastside of Indy and look forward to seeing it become a catalyst for growth and revitalization in the neighborhood.”

“King Park’s Build Fund has given Hotel Tango the opportunity to expand its production capacity, and allowed us to expand into another up and coming neighborhood of Indianapolis.”

“Our vision for Cannon Ball Brewing Company is to create a comfortable neighborhood destination that will bring together amazing beer and incredible food, as well as helping to create a sense of community in the Kennedy King neighborhood. We believe that being pioneers in this neighborhood will help spur growth by attracting residents and helping to create appeal to additional businesses. We are excited to be a part of this great corner of downtown Indianapolis and can’t wait to help breathe new life into this section of The King Park area.”
