Do you or some you know, have a commercial real estate project in Oak Harbor that needs financing with better rates and terms with more flexibility than the market?
The EDC is pleased to share this exciting opportunity brought to us by the Heritage Bank Community Development Entity (HBDE). The program provides loans to help businesses to fund projects that will in return revitalize the economy by creating jobs and increasing the availability of goods and services in economically distressed areas of Oak Harbor.
Loans are between $500,000 and $9 million for real estate transactions.
Features of the loan fund:
- Below-market fixed rates
- Lower origination fees
- Lower debt coverage ratios
- Longer maturities
- 7 years of interest-only payments
Heritage Bank uses its own capital to make loans to businesses operating in these communities on better rates and terms with more flexibility than the market.

The Heritage Bank Community Development Entity finances businesses in economically stressed areas, breathing new life into neglected and underserved low income communities. Heritage Bank formed its own Community Development Entity (CDE) to expand the financing we bring to businesses in low-income communities in Washington and Oregon. It is one of only a handful of CDEs in both states able to facilitate these loans.
HBCDE, LLC, a subsidiary of Heritage Bank, has been certified by the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund of the United States Department of Treasury as a Community Development Entity to provide loans, investments and services to low-income communities.
