Local Economic Development Loan Program
Information and Loan Application Documents
INFORMATION
On June 29, 1995, the Ohio Water Development Authority Board created the Local Economic Development (LED) Loan Program. Through this program, OWDA can provide financial assistance for water and sewer projects for industries making a significant investment in Ohio and creating new jobs.
For more details, see the Local Economic Development Loan Program Guidelines. Please note that projects must be constructed using prevailing wage.
Applications are accepted on an open cycle. OWDA will begin to review a project after a complete application has been received. Your application will be presented to the OWDA Board for approval after it has been determined that the local government has the ability to repay the loan.
