<br />Comments: A newly established state-wide Oregon Growth Fund would create additional loan, grant
<br />and equity investment resources for business formation and expansion. This fund could
<br />provide access to financing for local companies, and help advance the Regional
<br />Prosperity Economic Development Plan. The City of Eugene would not have any
<br />financial participation in the Growth Fund.
