Federal loan for day care center may be denied
Franklin County Day Care faces a setback as a U S Department of Agriculture Rural Development loan request to buy and remodel the old Crestview Nursing Home was denied in form. County officials weigh selling or demolishing the building while awaiting a board update after the lender flagged lack of cash flow as a constraint. The plan had projected a 200000 project cost with an 185000 loan and a closing deadline of February 28.
