Washington Senate Bill 5004 Is An Act Relating To Creating A
Mobile Custom Farm Slaughtering Unit Loan Program.
In recent years, several USDA-regulated livestock slaughtering facilities in Washington have closed, impeding local meat production. Mobile slaughtering units –transportable structures that can travel to farms, and are accompanied by a USDA inspector –have been suggested as a possible solution to this problem. Three mobile slaughtering units are currently operating in Washington, based in Island, Stevens, and Walla Walla counties. The Pierce County Conservation District recently authorized funding for another mobile slaughtering unit, which will be operated by a nonprofit cooperative serving meat producers in Pierce, King, Kitsap, Mason, Thurston, and Lewis counties.
The Rural Washington Loan Fund (RWLF) is a federally-funded loan program administered by the Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development (CTED). To receive a loan, a project must create employment opportunities, maintain threatened employment or develop or expand business ownership by minorities and women; conform with federal rules and regulations governing spending of federal community block grants; be of public benefit and for a public purpose; probably be successful; and need the loan to be completed. Except those made to women and minority-owned businesses, 80 percent of appropriated funds are available for projects in distressed areas.
