By offering interest- only construction loans, the Millennium Infrastructure Fund empowers network owners to expand their businesses and seize untapped opportunities. Through strategic partnerships with institutions such as Widelity, Live Oak Bank, and BMO, Millennium opens doors to enhanced access to labor, engineering resources, compliance expertise, and more.
