Message from the President and CEO
Patrick J. MacKrell

Dear Friends,

We hope that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Things are in full swing here with tremendous momentum and enthusiasm for the warm reception we receive as we visit our lending partners across New York State.  The election is behind us and we look forward to working with the new administration to foster economic development and opportunity in New York. 

We continue our focus on construction lending this month since so many of our projects involve construction.  Last month we talked about financing soft costs in the 504 project and related issues.  In this month's Lender's Corner, Marlies Capobianco writes about our participation in construction financing.  This is an exciting new option to provide greater support to our lending partners.  We also touch on using the 7(a) guaranty program to mitigate lender exposure during construction; a little used, but very effective tool.

Our Success Story of the Month involves construction loan participation for a project in Saratoga.  This was the first loan approved and closed under our construction lending program.  This project is a good example of effective partnering and creative loan structure to meet the needs of your customers.  We are very excited about this program. 

Please take the time to get to know Richard Amsterdam of our Long Island office in our Employee Spotlight.   Richard is a great resource to finance a new project and become part of your own success story.

Welcome aboard to Laurie Couture, our new Director of Communications & Marketing as well as Editor-in-Chief of our Newsletter.  Please email her at lcouture@nybdc.com or me at mackrell@nybdc.com with any comments, suggestions, or submissions.

In addition to the October 2006 Loan Approvals contained in this edition of the newsletter we have posted a list of all loans approved during our recently concluded fiscal year on our website http://www.nybdc.com/loansarea.htm  for your information.

All the best,

Pat
