emphasize and/or what areas would you target?  List 3 aspects or areas. 
 
What role can the FHLBanks play in economic development funding? 
 
What programs are you aware of that could benefit from new or increased economic development  
funding? 
 
Rank order this list by importance or need for ED funding: 
a. Commercial 
b. Industrial 
c. Manufacturing 
d. Social Services 
e. Public facility projects and activities 
f. Public or private infrastructure projects such as roads, utilities and sewers 
Is the order dependent on geography or some other characteristic? Describe. 
 
Please describe the types of economic development initiatives that will require long‐term financing, 
create jobs and spur economic growth (e.g., hospitals, fire companies, energy and/or 
telecommunications  industries): 
 
What types of economic development initiatives have been successful in your organization’s service

provided for social services (parks, day care centers), and/or located in a specific geographical area 
(unemployment, population loss census tracts, or empowerment zone etc.)

businesses?
