MANAGED BY:

The purpose of the Douglas County Revolving Loan Fund is to promote economic growth in Douglas County through recruitment, expansion and retention of business and industry by providing the necessary financing to fill gaps in local markets and thereby stimulate private sector capital formation and to serve as a 'pump primer' rather than a replacement for private commercial lending.

Lending Guidelines

* DCRLF funds must be necessary to the completion of the project. Each applicant shall obtain a letter from the participating financial institution specifying why DCRLF participation is needed. Appropriate needs statements include the existence of a financial "gap" between the feasible project site and available financing, of a situation where additional jobs can be created with added financing, of the need for an inducement for a company to locate or expand in Douglas County, etc.


* The RLF Board will not consider jobs created prior to their final approval for job creation; investment prior to their approval as equity contribution; or financing disbursed prior to their approval as participating financing.
