The major issue of discussion centered on the funding mechanism in developing the program. This included finding a redevelopment project area with funds; lending of funds from one project area to another; how did previous similar lending programs failed or succeeded; development of a new project area; loan program through San Bernardino County/ECV; RDA funds on the federal level; and merging project areas.
