Our History

In late 2000 Otero County partnered with Otero Junior College and Las Animas County to obtain a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) to capitalize a revolving loan fund program as well as providing funding for the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) located at Otero Junior College. The initial grant was $250,000. Two loan programs were made available – Direct Loan Program and Microenterprise Loan Program. The application was approved and funded. In September 2001 Otero Partners, Incorporated was formed as a 501(c)3 organization whose purpose was to create a revolving loan fund to encourage economic diversity and job creation and retention to benefit very low-, low- and moderate-income persons in Otero County and Las Animas County.
