We administer a program enabling employers to offer low-interest payroll loans to employees.
ETCOG is here to support its members through two primary objectives: to provide a forum for local elected officials to solve common problems, and to be a solutions provider for our members. One way we directly assist our members and the business community is through our economic development team.
Our team administers the East Texas Economic Development District, leading regionally driven economic development planning and offering grant research, writing, and administrative services; the East Texas Regional Development Company, which provides new business lending options; and the Community Loan Center of East Texas, a low-interest, low-fee personal loan program partnership between employers and employees.
