![]() A provision from the tax cut
legislation passed by by Congress in 2017 may have positive economic
impacts in southwestern Utah, with investors incentivized to develop
businesses in some of the area’s lowest-income neighborhoods.
Large swaths of Washington, Iron, Beaver and Garfield counties are
among the places across Utah identified this summer as
federally-recognized “Opportunity Zones”
— areas designated where investors can avoid some taxes in exchange for
funding new development.
The hope is that development creates jobs, reduces poverty and sets the groundwork for further economic growth in areas largely being left behind by the state's overall job growth. This region, including even fast-growing Washington County, still ranks overall as a distressed regional economy, based on federal guidelines, thanks to low wages and a limited mix of businesses.

What is now needed is for all of the jurisdictions, who participated in the development of the Plan, to formally adopt the Plan by resolution. Association staff has sent out information on the Plan to all participating jurisdictions including how to adopt it. If there are any questions on the Plan and its adoption by your jurisdiction, contact Nate Wiberg, Five County Community Planner, at (435) 673-3548 ext. 105, or via e-mail to nwiberg@fivecounty.utah.gov Click on this link: https://hazardmitigationplan.org to go to the special web site developed to present the Plan to the cities, towns, counties and the public.

![]() The Five County Association of
Governments has a Revolving Loan Fund. The purpose of the Revolving
Loan Fund (RLF) is to create permanent, long-term jobs within the
southwestern region of Utah by providing gap 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 on-going job
creation program. Funds are available in Beaver, Garfield, Iron, Kane
and Washington County, Utah.
The Five County Microloan Program focuses on loans of $50,000 or less. The importance of these loans lies in their ability to offset the difficulty that businesses experience in receiving traditional bank financing. If a business loan candidate needs more than $50,000 they are encouraged to apply through the regular Five County Revolving Loan Fund which can provide gap financing in conjunction with a primary commercial lender. In most circumstances we can fund up to 50% of an eligible business capital need with up to approximately $200,000 of RLF fund participation. To
find out more about these two loan funds, visit our separate web
site: http://www.southernutahloans.com
