Cumberland Plateau Planning District Commission

The Cumberland Plateau Planning District Commission administers a Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) for Buchanan, Dickenson, Russell, Tazewell, Lee, Scott and Wise Counties and the City of Norton. Recently, the Cumberland Plateau Planning District Commission was awarded $700,000 of additional RLF funding by the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) to assist in recovery efforts from the COVID-19 pandemic. This additional funding is available through June 30, 2022.

Due to unique challenges and impacts that the pandemic has made on our business community, EDA is allowing us to waive certain requirements and change others to make it possible for businesses to access RLF loans with more favorable terms. All of this, of course, is aimed at accelerating economic recovery in our service area.

In order to assist business expansion and new job creation, the RLF administrator can take subordinated liens in order to enhance financing from conventional sources. RLF monies are also available to public entities, but preferably for not more than 20 percent of the total loan fund portfolio.

All loan applications are reviewed by the RLF Committee, which in turn makes loan recommendations to the Cumberland Plateau PDC Board of Directors for final approval.
