USDA Business & Industry Loan Transforms Local Economy
The recent closing of a $7.5 million USDA Business & Industry loan is poised to make a significant impact on the local economy. This financing supports the construction of the Reset Hotel, a unique retreat located near Joshua Tree National Park.
Supporting Job Creation and Economic Growth
Thomas Financial Group and Phoenix Lender Services, subsidiaries of Community Bankshares Inc., have successfully organized this financing, which is expected to create and retain over 20 jobs. The project will generate millions in annual economic activity, promoting job growth and community vitality throughout the region.
A Collaborative Effort
Community Bank & Trust, also under the Community Bankshares umbrella, originated the loan while Phoenix Lender Services assisted in its underwriting and closing. This collaboration exemplifies how specialized entities can work in harmony to facilitate complex transactions swiftly and effectively.
Reset Hotel: A Vision for Hospitality
The Reset Hotel project covers 11.17 acres and features a 65-key modular steel-frame hotel. This innovative design aims to offer guests breathtaking views of Joshua Tree National Park and is being developed in response to the increasing demand for high-quality accommodations in the area.

Community and Sustainable Development
The collaboration aims not merely for a profitable venture but to uplift the entire region. As Zach Chandler, SVP of Government Guaranteed Lending at Thomas Financial Group, stated, this initiative supports economic revitalization and sustainable development within rural communities.
