Loan History

All interest earned from school trust loans funds public school library materials throughout Wisconsin.

BCPL makes loans to municipalities and school districts for public purpose projects including economic development, local infrastructure, capital equipment and vehicles, building repairs and improvements, and refinancing existing liabilities to reduce future borrowing costs.

Today BCPL is among the largest public investors in economic development projects and local infrastructure projects within the State of Wisconsin.

The disbursed amount for loans may be less than the approved amount because loan recipients are not obligated to borrow the full amount of the approved loan, only the funds required to complete the project.

Some loan recipients' boundaries cross county lines. The spreadsheet's 'Primary County' column lists the main county of the recipient while the 'All Counties' column list all counties the recipient is located in. The condensed listing report only lists primary county for each loan.
