John Brocato, Sr. Vice President Announces the Successful Closing of Another USDA B&I Loan

John Brocato, Sr. Vice President announced the successful closing of another

USDA B&I loan, as well as two other major USDA loans that have been recently

approved.


Central Progressive Bank recently closed a USDA loan for $2,670,000 on a new

Reception & Entertainment complex located in Mandeville, LA. The new complex

will generate an estimated 20 new jobs and cater to family functions such as

weddings, large indoor Kids Play Center, church functions, and concert venues.



The bank and the USDA have also approved a $9,900,000 Senior Living Center

located in Southeast LA and also a $9,900,000 Medical Building located in

Louisiana. John Brocato believes that teaming up with the USDA on such projects

is an excellent way for a small community bank to increase its loan production

and decrease its credit risk. The USDA helps our bank get involved in larger

projects that we believe tends to have more sophiscated and experienced

borrowers, as well as borrowers with stronger personal net worth and liquidity.

The bank believes that with the new funding that the USDA is receiving this year

that the bank is already considering more USDA loans and plans to expand its

marketing efforts in Southeast LA and the Mississippi Gulf coast.
