1) GFDA closed a loan for $195,000 to Big Sandy Organics for the purchase and installation of new equipment in their co-packing facility. Big Sandy Organics is currently undertaking a major expansion that will increase production and strengthen value-added food processing in our region. If your business is looking to expand and is experiencing a funding gap, please reach out to Shandi Gebhardt Jones at 1-406-590-9037 or [email protected] to begin a conversation about available financing options.
