ABOUT

US

INVEST

The Upper Illinois River Valley Community Development Corporation is a for-profit corporation whose purpose is to invest in and provide loans to existing small businesses within the region.

FOCUS

Money to lend comes from capital provided by local participating financial institutions. The focus of the CDC is on small to medium size businesses who require capital for technology, modernization, physical rehabilitation of structures, or cash flow to make them more economically viable.

GROW

While these loans ultimately promote job retention and job creation, it is the CDC who provides a vehicle for gap financing to support those loans when conventional lenders are unable to meet the financing needs of the small business.
The Upper Illinois River Valley Community Development Corporation is an Illinois corporation established on December 13, 1993. The by-laws of the corporation were adopted on May 10, 1994, and the loan policy was passed on June 14, 1994.
The Upper Illinois River Valley Development Authority received a $12,500 Technical Assistance Grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs to cover the start-up and organizational fees to form the CDC.
In November of 1994, the CDC received approval of a $50,000 grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs for funds to increase the capital of the CDC to make loans to small business within the region.
