From Blueprint to Build-Out: Navigating Loans for Construction & Tenant Improvements – Wasilla

Planning a construction or tenant improvement project often means navigating a specialized loan process from start to finish.

Join us on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, from 10:00 am to 12:30 pm at the Mat-Su Small Business Development Center (Mat-Su SBDC) Office in Wasilla for “From Blueprint to Build-Out: Navigating Loans for Construction & Tenant Improvements – Wasilla” presented by Carrie Callaway Cardy, VP, Senior SBA Relationship Manager at KeyBank, and Garet Plantz, Small Business Relationship Manager at KeyBank. This workshop is designed for business owners and start-ups (not residential projects, though) and will walk participants through the key stages of financing, including an overview of different loan options available for these types of projects.

Carrie and Garet will show you how to prepare for and secure financing, what lenders look for during approval, how contractor payments and draw schedules typically work, what to expect at loan closing, and how a construction loan converts into a long-term loan.

Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of:

• the financing timeline,
• common requirements, and
• practical steps to help keep your project and loan process on track.Point of Contact: Alaska SBDC (907) 786-7278
