Emporia’s economic development loan trust fund may change after it was reviewed at this morning’s meeting of the Regional Development Association of East Central Kansas.
The association looked at the program and made several recommendations that will be sent to the city commission for approval later this month.
Under the changes, the total cumulative amount of a loan cannot exceed $200,000; a 4-percent floor on the interest rate was added, where before the interest rate had been 1.5 percent below the prime rate; and a section was added requiring a loan agreement, where previously that requirement was implicit.
