In the complex landscape of financing public works and infrastructure projects, the 1780-28 Loan Resolution Security Agreement stands out as a crucial document. Originating from the Rural Utilities Service (RUS), a branch of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), this form serves as a legal framework for organizations seeking federal loans. Aimed at supporting the acquisition and construction of facilities essential for community development, the agreement outlines the prerequisites for incurring debt and the mechanisms for its repayment. The form mandates a thorough resolution process within the borrowing organization, including member approval and detailed plans for the use of funds and revenue management. It specifies terms under which loans are made, including interest rates, repayment schedules, and the pledging of future income to secure and service the debt. Additionally, it emphasizes compliance with federal requirements, such as environmental assessments and equal employment opportunities, while detailing the financial obligations of the borrower to maintain and operate the facility efficiently. Through its comprehensive approach, the 1780-28 form ensures that funded projects are financially viable, legally compliant, and aligned with community needs and federal priorities.
