SNOW HILL Worcester County
businesses are taking advantage of
Video Lottery Terminal (VOLT)
funding or using the program as a
gateway into other options, accord-
ing to a report by the Small Bus-
iness Development Center (SBDC).
John Hickman, director of SBDC
at Salisbury University, briefed the
county Local Development Council
(LDC) this week on the success of
VOLT, a loan program where the
funding comes from casino reven-
ue, 1.5 percent of yearly proceeds.
The loans are available throughout
Worcester but 50 percent must go
to businesses located within 10
miles of one of Maryland's casinos.
In Worcester, that's the Casino at
Ocean Downs.
VOLT is popular, Hickman told
the LDC. The loan amount is cus-
tom for every business but can be
as small as a few thousand dollars
or as large as several hundred thou-
sand dollars. Worcester has already
seen three VOLT loans, with the
most recent being a $75,000 loan to
Blue Flame in October.
The best part about VOLT, ac-
cording to Hickman, is that it's bring-
ing business owners to SBDC
