Statement: What Ben McAdams Didn’t Talk About at his State of the County Speech

Salt Lake County- “Mayor Ben McAdams gave his State of the County speech this morning covering topics of the new homeless shelters, infrastructure and additional massive, expensive projects. While these speeches traditionally just highlight the positive, we wish Ben would have taken the opportunity to also address the following topics:

  • His lack of transparency attempting to develop Mountain Accord. 
  • Why he eliminated a homeless shelter site near property he owned.
  • Increasing his office budget by $4.5 million or 63%.
  • His expanding of the Mayor’s office from one deputy mayor to four deputy mayors. 
  • Making closed door deals with homeowners to purchase their homes near homeless shelter sites and then sitting silently as they wait in limbo on the status of their home.

Hopefully, we won’t have to wait until next year for a truthful understanding of these vital topics.”

First Southwest Community Fund supports the dedicated entrepreneurial spirit of rural Colorado, by investing in the people, culture and ideas that fuel innovation and financial knowledge in our community with an emphasis on areas of greatest need.

 

ALAMOSA, COLO., (February 14, 2018) — First Southwest Community Fund (FSWCF) recently launched their new website at fswcf.org to provide a more seamless online experience for individuals and businesses seeking creative funding for their rural Colorado business.

 

The new website includes information on the Intermediary Relending Program, the New Pioneers Microloan Program, the Rural Business Development Grant, and more - including an added section for News and Community Fund success stories. It’s also now much easier to reach out and gain more information regarding sponsorship, partnership, and funding.

 

“The main goal of updating the FSWCF website was to create a modern, easier to navigate platform  for individuals and businesses to learn more about the services the community fund offers,” says Kent Curtis, FSWCF’s president. “We’re really excited about the opportunities that a more robust and accessible network will provide in this coming year.”

 

As a 501c3, FSWCF promotes economic development in distressed communities — helping create jobs, increasing wages, and encouraging the development of critical community infrastructure and provide new educational opportunities and financial literacy knowledge for identified populations. It achieves this by providing low-cost business and agricultural lending to create sustainable employment and jumpstart local economies.

 

“This new website is a long awaited platform that will allow us to do even bigger things in the future,” said FSWCF President, Kent Curtis. “Our goals have always focused on supporting small businesses and entrepreneurs who are dedicated to improving the economic sustainability of our rural Colorado communities. With a new website, we can achieve these goals and get the word out about FSWCF more efficiently.”

 

For more information about this new launch and potential 2018 funding opportunities for your rural Colorado business, please contact Roxanne DeMarco, roxanne.demarco@fswb.com. 2018 grant funds are subject to Congressional approval.
