The purpose of the Mountainland Economic Development District Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) is to create permanent, long-term jobs within the Mountainland region of Utah by providing “gap” and start-up financing to qualified businesses for eligible activities. Loans made through the Revolving Loan Fund are intended to help bridge the gap created by shortfalls in commercial financing. Funds are repaid into the program and recycled to other businesses, thus allowing an ongoing job creation program. Funds are available for businesses located in Utah (excluding Provo and Orem), Summit, or Wasatch County.
