Chippewa Valley Electric Cooperative (CVEC), (Cornell, Wis.) in collaboration with Dairyland Power Cooperative, provided a low-interest loan to Northwest Warehouse & Transfer LLC, an affiliate of All-Ways Transit, Inc. in Bloomer, Wis.). Northwest Warehouse secured a $200,000 loan for the development of a new warehouse facility. Dairyland contributed $150,000 from its revolving loan fund (RLF) and CVEC contributed $50,000 from their fund. 

The RLF program provides low-interest loans to businesses and organizations for projects that create jobs, support infrastructure and strengthen local economies. As loans are repaid, the funds "revolve," meaning they are reinvested into future projects within the community. Dairyland and its member cooperatives, such as CVEC, use these funds to help support growth and development throughout our service territory.
