Revolving Loan Fund Plan Revision
Summary
Heliponix was counting on an SBA loan to cover balloon payments on its first two city loans, but changing federal requirements killed the deal despite pre-approval. The board deferred those loans to 2027 and cut a third loan to 4% interest to keep the company afloat while it chases new 90%-guaranteed supply-chain loans.
