Actor Rehearsing on Stage
Tucson IDA’s annual $250,000, short term, bridge loan did more than help us manage a challenge in our cash flow cycle. The community loan helped us increase income and productivity, even during adverse market factors that were unforeseen and uncontrollable.

This true sign of burgeoning fiscal health is a manifestation of the importance of the work the IDA does within our communities.
