The Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA) Board unanimously approved a loan participation for a project located in Wasilla.
The loan, to 600 E. Railrad Avenue, is for $3,915,000 (90 percent) of a $4,350,000 loan brought to AIDEA by Northrim Bank. Northrim originated the loan and is participating with $435,000.
The purpose of this loan is for the acquisition of a 33,186-square-foot office/school building located at 600 E. Railroad Avenue in Wasilla. The building is leased to the Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District (24,988 square feet) and the Legislative Affairs Agency (6,927 square feet).
This AIDEA loan participation produces economic benefit to the borrower by providing a 25 year term at a fixed rate of 3.5 percent. The project supported three new jobs and retained forty-seven existing jobs.
