AC Green Metalworks to receive $425,000 from Ohio Department of Development

The Ohio Department of Development has announced the Ohio Minority Development Financing Advisory Board has approved AC Green Metalworks to receive $425,000 from the Women's Business Enterprise Loan Program. The support helps minority- and women-owned businesses sustain and expand their operations.

The Athens, Ohio, company is a women-owned metal fabrication and interior design firm offering custom stair rails, metal decorative doors, signs, artwork, and other custom metal fabrication products. The company will use the funds to purchase a new facility, retain nine employees, and possibly create nine new jobs.

"Supporting Ohio’s minority and women-owned entrepreneurs with equitable business loan funding isn’t just an investment," said Lydia Mihalik, director of the Ohio Department of Development. "It’s a commitment to unlocking the full potential of disadvantaged businesses, fostering economic inclusivity and driving sustainable growth across communities."
