 Six
times each year the Five County
Association of Governments publishes a widely circulated and
informative newsletter entitled "FIVE COUNTY NEWS FROM
'R' VIEW". The
latest edition, the MAY-JUNE
2017
EDITION, was mailed to county, city and town leaders and other
individuals in our five county region, as well as to other regional,
state and federal agencies. You can also conveniently view the
newsletter on this web site.

 The final draft of a regional
Multi-jurisdictional Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan, developed by the
Five County Association of Governments' staff in collaboration with all
of the cities and the five counties, and almost all of the towns in
this region, was submitted in January to the Federal Emegency
Management Agency (FEMA). The Plan contains information regarding
the type, location and extent of eight regularly occurring hazards in
the Five County area and includes information on previous occurrences
of hazard events and the likelihood of a future hazard event. The
natural hazards identified in this plan are: wildfire, flood,
landslide, drought, severe weather, problem soils, earthquake and radon
gas.We are pleased to report that FEMA has completed its review and has approved the Plan, placing it in what is called "Approved Pending Adoption" status. 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 popular Community Services
Resource Directory for southwestern Utah is available. The Directory,
published with Community Services Block Grant
funding, is distributed through the Community Action Partnership of the
Five County Association of Governments. While the Directory is targeted
primarily to the under served
population, many services apply to all levels of income and need. The
Directory is available to view online or may be purchased. To view the Directory, please visit the H.E.A.T. and Community Action website at this link: http://fivecountycap.wordpress.com
 The updated Comprehensive Economic
Development Strategy (CEDS) document for the Five County Association of
Governments economic development region was submitted to U.S. Department of Commerce, Economic Development
Administration Denver Region and approved by that federal agency. For
more information on the CEDS document, please contact Bryan Thiriot,
Executive Director, Five County
Association of Governments, via e-mail: bthiriot@fivecounty.utah.gov
or by telephone: (435) 673-3548.
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 Microloan Program focuses on loans of $25,000 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 candidate needs more than $25,000 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. We can fund up to 50% of a project with up to $200,000 of RLF participation. To
find out more about these two loan funds, visit our separate web
site: http://www.southernutahloans.com
