REVOLVING LOAN FUND

The CAPDD Revolving Loan Program is a crucial tool for economic development, serving to assist local companies in bridging the funding "gap" left by the absence of adequate local financial markets. These financing programs may be available to small businesses in Faulkner, Lonoke, Monroe, Prairie, Pulaski, and Saline counties.

PROGRAM MANAGEMENT & DEVELOPMENT

In order to help our member municipal and county governments, we are dedicated to provide staff services, grant writing, and grant management. The procurement and implementation of State and Federal funding opportunities are included in these services.

FEMA Hazard Mitigation Plans

Hazard mitigation is the cornerstone of emergency management. It is defined as any sustained
action to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to life and property from a hazard event. Mitigation
encourages long-term reduction of hazard vulnerability. The goal of mitigation is to save lives
and reduce property damage. The following plans were developed to assess the ongoing natural hazard mitigation activities, to evaluate additional mitigation measures that should be undertaken, and to outline a strategy for implementation of mitigation projects. Please note that Ashley and Drew County are not in the CAPDD district.
