Bristol CORE

Bristol CORE (formerly Bristol Downtown Community Partnership), a non-profit 501(c)(3), is a group of area business people, property owners and community members committed to increasing and maintaining the economic vitality of the Bristol downtown area and to organize and promote community events for Bristol citizens. We do this via beautification, marketing and economic development projects and programs. Bristol CORE and its  Board of Directors were created as part of the requirements to become a Vermont Designated Downtown, a status Bristol earned in 2006.

Bristol Revolving Loan Fund

The Bristol Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) was established with grant money the Town received in the mid 1980’s for Downtown Storefront improvement and low-income housing (apartment) renovations. The current RLF is money that has been repaid from the original and current loans. The fund is available for projects in Bristol. The RLF is designed for use in instances where conventional sources (bank loan, VEDA or SBA loan) may not fully a project. The fund can be used in conjunction with other sources of money.
