Lewisville eyes community loan center concept as pay day loan alternative
The Lewisville City Council heard a presentation in workshop session Monday that is last night the proposition for developing a Community Loan Center (CLC). A CLC would synergy employers within the city having a non-profit company to offer lower-interest loans as much as $1,000, reimbursed via payroll deductions.
The council has looked over managing the lending industry that is payday. However when they asked for options before continuing into legislation, Assistant City Manager Claire Swann placed the CLC idea as an option to payday lending that will never price the town such a thing to begin.
