Development

For more than four decades, Region IV Development Association (RIVDA) has been providing hands-on technical assistance to communities throughout southern Idaho – from helping with basic infrastructure development (sewer, water, fire protection) to assisting with community building (training, visioning, and comprehensive economic development strategy planning). The Region IV Development team can assist with conducting town meetings, preparing funding applications, and implementing public investments.

Lending

Region IV Development’s Loan Division focuses solely on the progression of small businesses. We will walk step by step with business owners to find financing that will meet their needs. The Region IV Development team can help small businesses from startups to expansions. We can partner with banks or work individually with entrepreneurs to provide financing for real estate, equipment, inventory, tenant improvements and working capital from the Magic Valley to the Treasure Valley.
