Infrastructure State Revolving Fund (ISRF) Program

Infrastructure State Revolving Fund (ISRF) Program

IBank's ISRF Loan Fund program provides low-cost, direct loans to local governments and nonprofits sponsored by public agencies for a wide variety of public infrastructure and economic expansion projects (excluding housing) that improve and sustain communities, helping individuals and families thrive. We focus on small and mid-/moderate-sized local governments and special districts — including those in underserved regions and communities.

ISRF loans can fund a wide variety of projects – including water and wastewater treatment plant upgrades or construction, venue or airport construction, or street repair and upgrades. ISRF financing is available in amounts ranging from $1 million to $65 million with loan terms for the useful life of the project up to 30 years.   With IBank You: • Save time — We conduct a preliminary review process and provide feedback before inviting you to apply. • Can submit applications any time of the year. We accept applications continuously, and because we issue our own bonds to generate funds, we do not run out of funding. • If approved, can receive funds within 45 to 90 days of IBank board approval.• Receive low, competitive, fixed-interest rates up to 30 years.
