Solid Waste Loan Program
The Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority (GEFA), an LMOP State Partner, provides environmental and energy efficiency financing, coordination, and education to governmental units and nonprofit organizations in Georgia. GEFA makes state-backed loans to cities, counties, and solid waste management authorities for water, sewer, and solid waste management projects. GEFA is the primary funding agency for solid waste management projects in the state.
Under the Solid Waste Loan Program, GEFA offers low-interest loans of up to $3 million for solid waste management projects, particularly those that help minimize waste streams or mitigate environmental hazards. Loan applications are accepted year-round. While GEFA loans are available only to Georgia local governments, partnerships with private-sector developers may be allowed, depending on the specific project arrangements at a rate directly indexed to the interest rate of the State’s bonds. Contact the Solid Waste Program Manager for current rates.
In 2002, the City of LaGrange, Georgia, received a $1 million low-interest loan from GEFA to upgrade landfill management equipment, including the installation of a landfill gas collection system and construction of a landfill gas generating facility. LMOP Industry Partner, Interface, Inc., purchases the landfill gas for direct use at its facility LaGrange, Georgia.
