Description

Join us for lunch with Jon Beaulac, Manager of Commercial Business at Columbia Basin Trust, for an informative and engaging session on the Trust’s Commercial Investment Program — a valuable but lesser-known resource offering flexible financing solutions for Basin-based businesses. 

The Commercial Investment Program provides direct lending to Basin-based businesses, non-profits, and social enterprises. Financing options include: 

• Business succession 
• Expansion and acquisitions 
• Commercial mortgages 
• Equipment purchases 
• Construction and development 
• And more! 

Jon will share insights into how the Trust supports business growth and investment across the Basin, sparking conversation around opportunities, partnerships, and long-term economic development. 

Columbia Basin Trust continues to play a vital role in strengthening communities throughout the Basin. This session will set the stage for meaningful networking and idea sharing among our business community.
