Small Business Lending

The MWVCOG Revolving Loan Program and Valley Development Initiatives each have Loan Boards for the various Public Finance Programs for Small Business Lending options available here in the Mid-Willamette Region. These volunteer Board members help insure that our lending programs meet the public purpose of expanding capital to the region’s businesses and entrepreneurs. The VDI Board Board does the SBA work (504, 7a, ILP, IRP) and other Economic and Community Development Lending.
