The Micro-Enterprise Program (MEP) is funded by the State Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG). The City of South Lake Tahoe’s MEP is designed to provide business consulting to enhance the success of startup companies, provided the entrepreneur meets certain income qualifications. Micro-Enterprises employ five or fewer persons and may qualify for loans of up to $25,000 for new businesses, or $30,000 for existing businesses.
