The bond will be issued to assist the borrower named below (who will be the owner and operator of the project) to finance the cost in the amount of the bond, which is then typically purchased by a lender bank who then, through the KDFA, loans the bond proceeds to the borrower for the purposes of acquiring the project. The project shall be located as shown:
Project No. 001118 Maximum Principal Amount: $312,500. Owner/Operator: Colton L.

Lenora Road and 4 miles south on 170th Ave., southeast of the intersection of BB Road and 170th Ave.
The bond, when issued, will be a limited obligation of the KDFA and will not constitute a general obligation or indebtedness of the state of Kansas or any political subdivision thereof, including the KDFA, nor will it be an indebtedness for which the faith and credit and taxing powers of the state of Kansas are pledged. The bond will be payable solely from amounts received from the respective borrower, the obligation of which will be sufficient to pay the principal of, interest and redemption premium, if any, on the bond when it becomes due.
