Welcome to the Franklin County Community Development Corporation (FCCDC) in Greenfield, MA! Since 1979, we have been a trusted business partner, providing a range of services to small-business owners and entrepreneurs in Western Massachusetts. Our mission is to support your success, and we achieve this by offering tailored business planning assistance and flexible financing options. When traditional banks say no, we often say yes.

But that's not all. We also have specialized programs to help food entrepreneurs and farmers. Our Western Massachusetts Food Processing Center guides specialty food entrepreneurs in launching and manufacturing their products.

Through the Massachusetts Agriculture Innovation Center, we help farmers and food entrepreneurs add value to their crops. Furthermore, our PVGrows Investment Fund allows community members to invest in our food system and provides financing opportunities to farmers and food businesses. Additionally, we administer the Massachusetts Food Trust Program, which supports entrepreneurs looking to bring local food retail to underserved areas in the central and western parts of the state.

Beyond our lending and food programs, we offer commercial space for rent in our Venture Center, and we are committed to integrating Racial Justice work into all our endeavors. If you're ready to take the next step, check out our information sessions to get started. And if you're looking for career opportunities, we're hiring!
