The annual loan payment will be $469,000 beginning in 1998 with total payments of $4,218,000 over the tern of the loan with a projected interest rate of 8 %. The interest over the term of the loan is $1,218,000. The Section 108 Loan will provide much needed resources in low to moderate income areas within the City of Little Rock in dire need of drainage and infrastructure improvements.
