Industrial Development Revolving Loan Fund

The IDRLF provides financing for wholesalers and manufacturers only. Financing of a project must be supplemented with conventional financing, the owner's own cash, and up to 45% financing by the Community Development Corporation.  The rates and terms of the CDC portion of the loan are quite attractive.
