Rutland LIFT Program
Rutland LIFT Program
City of Rutland
ABOUT THE GRANT
LIFT was created as a way of utilizing Rutland's enhanced solar tax revenue to support future business investment and job creation. The City holds half of all tax revenue generated from private solar development to fund this incentive program.
The LIFT program offers three different tiers: the $10,000 reimbursable grant for fixed infrastructure/renovations/upgrades, $5,000 grant and the HFCU up to $50,000 secured loan.
The $10,000 LIFT reimbursable grant is for fixed infrastructure renovations or upgrades to buildings within the City. It covers costs up to $10,000, or 50% of the renovation costs, whichever is less. There are also opportunities for $5,000 grants which may be used for more general costs for a City business.
A Revolving Loan Fund program, jointly funded and administered by Heritage Federal Credit Union, is available with secured loans of up to $50,000 available to qualifying businesses. The use of this funding is flexible and interest rates on the loans are below market rate.

CT Apprenticeship Funding Program
Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology
The Apprenticeship Funding Program was created for the purpose of providing financial assistance to Connecticut manufacturing companies to support the addition and utilization of Registered Apprenticeships to train and fill critical positions required for stability, continuity, and growth of manufacturing companies. Registered Manufacturing Employers may seek a wage subsidy for their registered apprentices and pre-apprentices. A single Employer Sponsor can apply for reimbursement for up to four (4) apprentices per year and (3) pre-apprentices per year (7 total per year). Reimbursement may be requested as often as every 6-months. An employer who has at least four registered apprentices and three registered pre-apprentices may request a maximum of $26,250 every six months ( 7 x $3,750) or a maximum of $52,500/year (7 x $7,500). The maximum reimbursement that will be made for any one-named apprentice or pre-apprentice is $15,000 over the course of their entire apprenticeship program regardless of the number of years that they remain in an "apprenticeship" status. There is presently no lifetime maximum that any one registered employer may receive from this program, only an annual maximum of $52,500.
