NADO’s Impact Awards program recognizes regional development organizations and their partners for improving the economic and community competitiveness. The Region 9 award recognizes the OEDIT’s partnership with rural Colorado for the pilot loan program that has resulted in an impact of $1.65 Million being distributed in 30 rural counties over the last 3 years.
The Colorado Microloan Fund through Region 9 has leveraged and additional $2.5 million and created and retained 210 jobs. The program also serves urban areas of the state through another nonprofit lender.
