Business Loans
The following web sites contain information on business loans offered to Connecticut businesses. These loans can be used to purchase ADA compliant property or Assistive Technology to make a disabled employee more productive. Job creation and retention, especially for people with disabilities, is another appropriate use of these loans.

Special Financing for New Fixed Assets
Technology Intensive Business and Project
Connecticut Enterprise Zone Program
To encourage job growth and overall prosperity, businesses located in Connecticut’s Enterprise Zones can take advantage of a range of state and local benefits. Eligible businesses include manufacturers, warehouse distributors (new construction/expansion only), and certain designated service related businesses.
Very often, people with disabilities live in industrial areas that are depressed and in need of revitalization. Hiring disabled individuals from these zones would reverse the unemployment trend among this population and give their neighborhoods a much needed lift.

Connecticut Tech Act Project
The Connecticut Tech Act Project provides information and advocacy services regarding assistive technology issues. The project's goal is to make sure that Connecticut's residents with disabilities have access to Assistive Technology.
Assistive technology is any device that enables a person with a disability to be more functional. Using the proper technology at work will allow a disabled person to be more productive, and in turn, a better worker.
This web site has information on funding options to purchase assistive technology.
AT Exchange is the Assistive Technology Exchange in Connecticut where you can find new and used AT devices for sale or for free. You can also post AT devices that you no longer need or use.
This website has additional information and links to assistive technology and disability related resources
Tax Incentives
The Tax Incentive website has information on various tax credit incentives offered to businesses located in Connecticut. Among other tax credits and incentives, it includes information on the Corporate Business Tax Credit and the Enterprise Zone Program. These are incentives designed to encourage Connecticut businesses to hire and train new employees.
The workers who are hired as a result of these tax credits can be people with disabilities. As a group, people with disabilities tend to have lower employment rates. These tax incentives programs can help reverse this distressing trend.
