December 2006 On-Line Newsletter

                                                         
Message from the President and CEO
Patrick J. MacKrell
 

Dear Friends,

We hope that you have been having a wonderful holiday season!

As we look to the New Year, we have excitement and momentum for a great 2007.  Changes in 2006 such as our construction program featured in last month's newsletter, and the expansion of our area of operations and community partner program will provide many opportunities to work together.

We are known often as a great SBA lender, but there’s more to what we do!  In this month's Lender's Corner, Steve Willard writes about our participation in conventional lending.  Whether it is a non-profit that does not qualify for SBA financing options or a loan where SBA involvement is not appropriate, we can be an effective lending partner.

Our Success Story of the Month involves a non-profit outside the realm of our normal lending practices, but a worthwhile conventional loan that kept our mission of retaining jobs in New York State.  In this project we partnered to mitigate risk and helped our partner bank close the loan.

Linda Zou, featured in our Employee Spotlight, is fluent in Chinese and is using that skill to increase our support of Asian banks and businesses in New York City and Long Island.

This month we included our first Partner Page which is the result of our request to have our partners contribute items on relevant topics.  Thanks to NYBDC Board member Brian McMahon and our long time counsel Mike O’Shea for collaborating on the article featured on our Partner Page Industrial Development Agencies and the 504 Loan Program: Great Economic Development Partners

In addition to the November 2006 Loan Approvals contained in this edition of the newsletter, a list of all loans approved during our recently concluded fiscal year and prior issues of our electronic newsletter are available on our website www.nybdc.com.

You might notice that we have changed our format after receiving comments from our readers who thought the white on blue was difficult to read (a bit too vivid) and that printing the newsletter as a keepsake was draining the ink from their printers.  Let us know your thoughts on the new format.

Please accept the best wishes of your friends at NYBDC for a happy, healthy and rewarding New Year.
