Extend deadline or Hartec is history
Optima says a 15 day extension from the state or Marion City Council is required to complete a 2.2 million financing package to move Hartec Enterprises from El Paso to Marion. If denied, the project ends and Hartec is history. The plan includes a 79 thousand dollar city loan and a 215 thousand dollar grant, with Bank of Ysleta yet to confirm funding.

Downstate Farmers Grapple With Tiny Rate Loan Plan
Illinois farmers face meager relief as state banks receive 100k to 550k each to lend at about 2 percent below standard rates for one year. Loans up to 50k aid operating costs but exclude land and major capital, leaving many skeptical of real impact on a strained farm economy. James Kirchner, Patrick Wagner and others stress the need for true profit over borrowing while debates over broader federal and state funding continue.
