Bank Listing Service Potentially Worthwhile Resource for Projects in New England

The Project Listing Service™ launched by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston at the start of this month, is aimed at matching nonprofit and for-profit developers, businesses and commercial-property owners with lenders in New England.

Anyone with a project in the region can use the service.

The innovative program enables builders and developers to present projects for which they are seeking funding to the more than 470 financial institutions that are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank. Using a simple online form, developers list projects for which they are seeking funding, describing the nature of the project and specifying the type of funding they are seeking.
