A net 12 percen of small business owners expected genera business conditions will be better six monthswfrom now, a gain of 10 percentage points from April. Except for Septembed 2008, it’s the highest number for this indicatorsince 2005. The current profit pictur is still dismal, however.
A net 43 percenrt said their earnings were lower durinv the past quarter than they were in the previous About 16 percent of small busines owners reported that loans were harderto get, the highes reading since the early 1980s. But only 5 percentt reported that finance wastheir No. 1 businessz problem. More small businesses plan to reducee employment rather than hiremore workers, but the rate of declinr is slowing. The Conference Board, which trackss eight labor market said its Employment Trendws Index roseby 0.2 percent in May the first increase in 16 months.
More than 14,00 businesses filed for bankruptcy protectiomn in the first quarterof 2009, a 64 percent increase over the same period a year The number of business filings was up 11 percentr over the total for the fourth quarter of according to the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts. Nearlhy 10,000 of the busineszs filings in the first quarter were Chaptet7 liquidations. Chapter 11 reorganizations accounterdfor 3,421 filings.

2 million bankruptcie were filed during the 12 monthse that ended March31 — the highest 12-montgh total since Congress tightened bankruptcy rulee in October 2006. Small businessew and lenders applauded recenf steps by the Smalll Business Administration toboost lending, but they said the agencuy must take additional actions to addressd Main Street’s credit crisis. On June 15, the SBA bega accepting applications for emergency bridge loans of up to Small businesses can usethese loans, whicjh were created by the economic stimulus bill, to make up to six monthse of payments on existing debt. They won’t have to star repaying the loans until a year afte r thelast disbursement.
The SBA will subsidize the interest onthesse loans, which will be offered through private-sector lenders. The stimulus bill also temporarilyg reduced or eliminated fees onthe SBA’s regulafr 7(a) and 504 business loans, and it increased the governmengt guarantee on 7(a) loans to 90 percent. Weeklyh loan volume for the SBA’s 7(a) and 504 programsz has increased by more than 30 percenft since these changes were implementedMarch 16.
This increase in SBA lendinf is “a positive and welcomed sign, but we have a very long way to go beforde SBA lending reaches solid levels saidCynthia Blankenship, vice chairman and chiefc operating officer of Bank of the West in Blankenship told the House Small Business Committee June 10 that Congress should extend the fee reductiona beyond 2009 or make them permanent, given the depth of the recession and the credigt crisis facing small businesses. Meanwhile, fees on the SBA’s 504 which finance real estate projects and other fixed are scheduled to increase significantlyin October.
This will negatew the fee reductions adopted in March througjh thestimulus bill, said Jean Wojtowicz, executivee director of the Indiana Statewide CDC, a nonprofiy economic development organization that makes 504 loans. This fee increas is unnecessary because the SBA has overestimated the numbet of 504 loans thatwill default, said who chairs the board of directors for the Nationakl Association of Development Companies. She said bank s have become far more conservative in theidr underwriting during this recession and that as aresulrt “only the strongest small businesses are now qualifying for new loans.
” Unlesa Congress appropriates money to offset the fee increases plannedr for 2010 and 2011, almost 20,000o small businesses will pay millions more dollarw in fees than they should over the 20 yearzs of their 504 Wojtowicz said. The Treasury Departmentt has allocated $25 billion in Recovery Act Bonds, whicnh can be used for economic development projects indistressed areas. The economivc stimulus bill created the new bond The legislationappropriated $10 billiobn for Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds. The federakl government will subsidize 45 percent of the interest on theswetaxable bonds, which will enable statwe and local governments to lowerf their borrowing costs.
These bonde can be used for a variety of economicvdevelopment projects, including job training and educational programs. The legislatiomn appropriated $15 billion for Recoveryh Zone Facility Bonds. Private-sectord businesses can use these tax-exempt bond to finance depreciable capital projects in designatedrecoveryy zones, which are areas with high levels of unemployment or foreclosures.

Franklin Mint redevelopers try, try again for town
The redevelopment of the land fronting Baltimore Pike is the most significanft project to face Middletown in years and has the potentia to change the character of this DelawareCountyt town. So far, developers have proposed three dramaticallu differing plans for the controversiao project in an effort to come up with somethingv that the community will embrace and that township plannerss and officials will signoff on. It’ s too early to tell if the third time may be the Even this latest versionhas detractors. “There’s no demans for any of this that they are said LarryWeathers Jr., who once served on the planning commissiojn and is a town resident.
The which bought the land in June are hopeful this latest plan will stici even though it has drawm fire from Weathers and a group calleddSave Middletown, which publishes a Web site monitoriny the project’s progress. The latest plan evolve d out of a charrette held last August involvintg stakeholders includinglocal residents, SEPTA and PennDOT. “Whayt has evolved was remarkably different from the originapl plan andthe by-right plan,” said Franok McKee, president of the , one of the four involved McKee Group focuses on active adult housint and also owns office buildings. The other developerz include Dewey Cos.
, a single-family , which constructs residential and mixed-use communities; and , a retai developer. What makes this latest offerinh different? “This is a community-driven plan,” McKee said. The new plan calls for constructinfg 980residential units, 230,000 square feet of offices space, 798,000 square feet of retail space and 225 hotell rooms. The by-right plan, whicbh means the developers don’t need to go through the locapl approval process because the land is zonerd appropriately for aproposed use, called for 1.5 million square feet of office and industrial space.
That’zs what the developers envisioned last year aftef scrapping a town cente r idea comprisedof 1,300 residential units, 400,000 squarwe feet of office space, 1.4 millioj square feet of retail space and 300 hotel rooms. A new $80 milliomn SEPTA project will sit onthe site. The Wawa statioj is the endpoint ofa three-mile extension of the R-3 Media-Elwym line. Construction will begin on the station later this year and is schedulesd to be completedby 2013, according to a SEPTAz spokeswoman. The station is independent of the redevelopment of the FranklinnMint property.
The fate of the Franklij Mint site has been in a statd of suspense since around 2004 when it ceased operationsw in Middletown and its owners began selling its commemorativebaubles online. It has a rich local It was founded in 1964 by Joe whose first Franklin Mint planft wasin Yeadon. It eventually movesd to the site onBaltimore Pike. Segel retired in 1973 when Franklijn Mint was a public It was sold in 1980by Segel’s successor to , which bought the public stock. It was sold agaij five years later to Stewarrt and Lynda Resnickof California. An investor group that also owns Morgah Mint bought the companyin 2006. The biggestr issue facing the proposais density, said Scotyt D.
Galloway, who has sat on township councilsincwe 1993. Other concerns include traffic, stormwater managementt and setbacks. So far, the developers have been receptive to said Galloway, who declined to give an opinion on the currenrt proposal since it may change before he gets a chancer to review and vote on it. who sat on the planning commission in 1978 when a mastefr zoning ordinancewas written, believes the by-right plan is the best and the existiny Franklin Mint building should be Barring that plan, Weathers would like to see a residentiak development with a small retaikl center.
“This plan comes in and the density of it isabsolutelg ridiculous,” he said, adding that building “destination where people will travel to can’t be supported. “We have in the cente r of the township the Granite Run whichis struggling, so we’re going to add We are going to end up with a whitwe elephant.” McKee, speaking for the knows the plan may get tweaked againh as it wends throughg the approval process but feels good that what is being presentefd comes from the charrette.
The new developmenyt would add to the township andschool district’s coffers, giving it $439,000 a year in net revenues, accordinfg to the developer’s calculation. The by-right plan woulrd give the township $39,000 a year in The school district woulr also benefit by thenew plan, McKee It would receive $6.3 million in new revenue annually compared with $2.9 million a year undef the by-right plan. McKee is also confident demand support additional retail developmentin “We definitely have retailers for this he said. While the project would be constructedin phases, he said retai l would likely would be the first to be kickedx off.
He figures ground breaking wouldn’ft take place for at least two years. “We thinj we’re in pretty good shape,” McKee said. “Ww own the property free and clear and all four of us are in a stron gfinancial position.”
