The Developer has received a letter of intent for a $15,000,000 construction loan to build the Shadowrock golf course subject to additional equity investment. Developer is presently seeking new equity investors for this purpose.
In December 2000 the California Desert Public Finance Authority changed its name to the Tuscany Hills Public Finance Authority and the Tuscany Hills Mutual Water Company joined the Authority. The Authority has authorized $40,000,000 in Bond debt under a new offering. The Developer is seeking a local agency with appropriate jurisdiction to join the JPA. The proposed uses of funds for the new offering include: repayment of the existing 1997 Series A debt, construction of the public golf course improvements, and to pay interest reserve and a reserve fund.
