The Commission has established a revolving loan program to provide low-interest loans to businesses to create jobs in the region. The Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) and the Economic Development Administration (EDA) have granted money for these loans to the Commission. The initial loan of this money is recorded as a disbursement on the accompanying schedule. Loans repaid, including interest, are used to make additional loans. Such subsequent loans are subject to certain compliance requirements imposed by the grantors. Such loans are included as expenditures on the schedule. In 2016 the Commission took over the revolving loan program from Ohio Valley Resource Conservation & Development Council (OVRC&D) who had decided to end operations. This loan program was funded by the United States Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, Rural Business Enterprise Grant (USDA RD RBEG).
