Among our many services, Region 9 EDD offers a revolving loan program for "gap" financing to assist small business retention, expansion and job creation. We also offer a micro-enterprise loan program for loans up to $100,000 for qualifying small businesses with five or fewer employees.

In addition to our loan programs, Region 9 EDD administers the Colorado Enterprise Zone Tax Credit program, publishes the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) to assist local communities with regional economic development strategic planning and technical assistance and helps to administer different State and Federal programs.

Region 9 EDD often partners with community organizations, governments and the private sector to assist in the development of special projects that result in job creation/retention and the economic expansion of the community or enterprise.
