Funding for programs must be through loans or grants as stated under this section. Loans may be made by the department from the North Dakota development fund, incorporated, a community, or the department and a community cooperatively. A community may provide loans directly or through any financial institution currently qualified to participate in a loan with the Bank of North Dakota. The Bank of North Dakota may participate in loans under such credit standards and lending policies it determines are necessary and applicable. A community may alternatively fund a program through a grant without use of new jobs credit from withholding.
