Governor Rendell Says Economic Stimulus Programs Energizing PA's Economy
Approved First Industries Fund and Second Stage Loan Guarantee Programs Creating Jobs and Supporting Business Growth

By: PR Newswire
Jun. 26, 2007 08:57 PM

HARRISBURG, Pa., June 26 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Governor Edward G. Rendell today announced that Pennsylvania is supporting two of its biggest industries, tourism and agriculture, as well as early stage companies, by investing nearly $5 million in projects located in 10 counties.

"The commonwealth's economy continues to grow due, in part, to the strategic investments we are making in our communities and businesses," said Governor Rendell. "Investments like these keep our economy moving in the right direction. They not only create and retain jobs for the state's hardworking residents; they spur private investment and keep Pennsylvania competitive.

"The latest statewide jobs report shows Pennsylvania's unemployment rate in May was 4.2 percent, which, again, was below the national rate of 4.5 percent. These numbers prove that our economic and workforce investments are attracting businesses and creating jobs across the state."

The Governor said the Commonwealth Financing Authority today approved low- interest loans and loan guarantees through the First Industries Fund and Second Stage Loan Guarantee programs, two vital pieces of his $2.8 billion economic stimulus package.

The Commonwealth Financing Authority is a seven-member board created to administer and fund projects from programs created by the stimulus package. In addition to the First Industries Fund and the Second Stage Loan Guarantee program, the Commonwealth Finance Authority oversees Business in Our Sites, the Tax Increment Financing Guarantee, New PA Venture Capital Investment, New Pennsylvania Venture Guarantee, Building PA and PennWorks.

The following loan guarantee was approved by the Commonwealth Financing Authority at its regular board meeting:

-- The Commonwealth Financing Authority, through the Second Stage Loan Program, will guarantee 50 percent of a $70,000 term loan and $400,000 line of credit from the Union National Community Bank. The funds will be used by 3 T Security LLC of Lancaster County to finance the commercial and residential security company's transition from its current business location to a newly acquired site. The new location will enable 3 T Security to assist its biggest customer, healthcare giant GlaxoSmithKline, in updating and repairing the healthcare company's security system. Since 3 T Security's services are customized, the upgrade would be too expensive to be done by another company. It is anticipated that four full-time jobs will be created by the project.

The Rendell administration is committed to creating a first-rate public education system, protecting our most vulnerable citizens and continuing economic investment to support our communities and businesses.
