The 57th Legislature created the Finance Information Center in the Montana Department of Commerce. The purpose was to provide a source of information on all relevant state, federal, and local public finance programs in Montana. The Department of Commerce created the Finance Information Center through the reorganization of existing resources. The Finance Information Center consists of the Regional Development Program, Certified Regional Development Corporations Program and the Commerce Loan Fund (Community Development Block Grant) Program. Direct technical assistance from the Center is available to citizens interested in accessing these and other finance programs in Montana.
One aspect of the Center was the development of a web site dedicated to providing information on public finance programs in Montana. The Finance Information Center has created and released the website at www.mtfinanceonline.com , which provides a one-stop reference source for virtually all state, federal and local development based public finance programs. The site includes information and direct hot links to web sites for programs that provide financing to businesses, local and regional development corporations, local governments, tribal governments, and other interested parties. The site includes links to financing sources for infrastructure, housing, business needs, and also to technical assistance resources that can provide assistance to applicants.
