Vermont Announces Business Loan Program
A new loan program from the Vermont Economic Development Authority (VEDA) is now available to support businesses in the state’s forest economy. Three million dollars in total financing can be provided in the form of loans up to $500,000 with subsidized interest rates for loggers, foresters, log haulers, biomass producers, sawmills, firewood producers and wood product manufacturers, for working capital, equipment and refinancing.
According to the Vermont Forest Futures Strategic Roadmap, the forest-based economy in the Green Mountain State accounts for about $2.1 billion annually and more than 13,800 jobs.
Loan proceeds must be used for projects located in Vermont and use forest products at least partially produced in Vermont. Loans can also be used to pay operating expenses; support seasonal working capital needs; and refinance existing debt at more affordable rates and/or terms.
