INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BONDS (IRB’s) Industrial Revenue Bonds can be used for projects which create jobs and /or additional tax base. If a project accomplishes that purpose, the local unit of government can authorize Industrial Revenue Bonds. Interest on these bonds is tax exempt to the bond purchaser; consequently, a lower interest rate is available. Because of legal and underwriting costs, the minimum size project is $500,000. TAX-EXEMPT MORTGAGE The Tax-Exempt Mortgage is similar to an Industrial Revenue Bond, but a mortgage note is issued instead of multiple bonds. Because the servicing costs of a single note are lower than those of multiple bonds, the minimum size project is substantially lower. Minimum size is dependent upon current interest and market conditions. TAX INCREMENT FINANCING Tax Increment Financing is available in various areas of the county. Tax increments available from the increase in assessed value of property, resulting from new development, can be directed by the affected city to public costs associated with development or redevelopment REVOLVING LOAN FUND Community Development of Morrison County and the City of Little Falls have revolving loan funds. The funds may be utilized for low interest loans by manufacturing firms expanding or locating in the county. Ten percent equity is required and bank participation is desirable but not mandatory SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Local lenders and Community Development are familiar with Small Business Administration loan guarantees and other special SBA programs.
