Course Overview

Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) programs are one of the economic development industry’s leading finance tools. RLFs have steadily grown in popularity as a way to provide support for innovative development projects, business assistance and community revitalization. A RLF can be designed as a broad lending program or tailored to assist direct niche industries and/or investment.
