REGIONAL ORGANIZATION MAKES FIRST
INVESTMENT IN LOCAL SMALL BUSINESS

The Ozarks Regional Community Development Corporation closed on its first loan Thursday to Downhill Bikes & Accessories in Branson.

This bicycle shop serving the Tri-Lakes area since 1996 will use the gap financing to expand marketing efforts and build inventory to accommodate demand. The project will also create a minimum of one new job.

The ORCDC provides gap-financing loans up to $50,000 for small businesses in the 10-county region. The corporation was formed in coordination with the Ozarks Regional Economic Partnership, a collaborative organization of 66 cities, counties and chambers in the 10-county region.
