Four weeks after the first day of spring and eight weeks after announcing some big news about our Arundel Community Reinvestment (ACR) Fund, we’re excited to publish an episode featuring a business that is a big fan of both: ⁠City Clean Inc.

We sat down with Dan Steele, owner of the Brooklyn Park-based business and one of 62 Anne Arundel County business owners who have received an ACR loan since 2007, to discuss:

• How he decided to start City Clean and why its work leaves customers – and the employees who do it – so satisfied.
• Why he immediately viewed the ACR Fund as a “no-brainer” when he first discovered it, through his commercial real estate agent, and how his $100,000 loan allowed him to purchase and renovate his business’s new headquarters.
• Why his location in Northern Anne Arundel County is great for both business and pleasure.
• PLUS some of his top tips for business owners and a few of his most memorable jobs.

So tune in for some spring cleaning inspiration AND some business education TODAY!
