CARLIN, Nev. (AP - The city of Carlin has received a $200,000, low-interest federal loan for construction of a senior citizens center.

Rep. Jim Gibbons, R-Nev., said the rural development loan from the U.S. Department of Agriculture is repayable at 5 percent interest over 30 years.

Additional funding from the city, Elko County and the local community was used as a match to secure the loan for a total of $764,000.

When complete, the 4,000 square-foot center will provide improved services to Carlin's seniors, including meals, basic health services and recreational and wellness programs.
