The $31.5 million tax-exempt permanent placement loan includes a term of 18.5 years, a 40-year amortization and 8 years of interest-only financing, with a floating rate while Lone Oak Meadows is under construction. The property is also financed with $27.85 million in tax credit equity from Enterprise Community Partners, as well as $1.5 million in low-income housing tax credit equity provided by the Louisville Metro Affordable Housing Trust Fund.
