The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) created the 504 loan program
in 1980 to provide financing for successful, growing, small and
medium-sized businesses. Loan proceeds can be used to purchase, renovate
or construct commercial real estate properties, or for the acquisition of
equipment that has a life expectancy of 10 years or more.

"Thriving businesses are especially important to celebrate given the state
of the economy today," said Barbara Morrison, CEO of TMC Development.
"These businesses are providing jobs in our community. They have all taken
advantage of the current historically low SBA interest rates and 90% fixed
rate financing available for owner/user real estate projects up to $20
million."

Service West Inc, the recipient of the "Energy Efficiency" Award, took
advantage of the SBA 504 Energy Efficiency policy that rewards increased
