The Construction Capital Fund provides working capital to construction and construction-related businesses in preparation for bid submission as prime or sub-contractors on projects for the Durango 9-R Bond Program. The goal of this fund is to help provide access to capital for entrepreneurs / small contractors who would not normally be able to undertake large contracts. This fund is a collaboration between First Southwest Community Fund, First Southwest Bank and Region 9 EDD.
