The Hamilton County Board of Commissioners voted on May 28, 2008 to reinstate HIP.

Loans may be used for:

  • Bathrooms  
  • Decks  
  • Kitchen Remodeling  
  • Plumbing  
     
  • Ceilings & Walls
  • Garages
  • Landscaping
  • Room Additions
  • Central Air & Furnaces

    … and much more!

This is very exciting news for all of us who have older homes and want/need to fix them up.  This is a great thing that they have brought back! I’m very excited.  Now maybe I can redo my kitchen after all :)
