General Ventures, Inc. Receives $1.5 Million Loan

General Ventures, Inc. (OTC: GVSI) announces that it has received a second round of financing for $1.5 million from Lomarey Financial for its commercial development subsidiary, Kettlemen City Commercial, LLC.

Tariq J. Faridi, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The loan will be used to complete the biological report, topo survey and soil test report; pay the first mortgage, engineering and architectural fees; and for site clearing, lot identification and roadway, tentative site map, site plan, site clearing and street improvements, and to complete the purchase of the adjacent 5 acres."

"The Traveler's Haven," now a 28.74-acre commercial real estate development, is strategically located at the midpoint between Los Angeles and San Francisco at the intersection of Interstate 5 and Highway 41 in Kettleman City, California. With the use of these funds, the company will be able to subdivide this property into an eight-lot commercial subdivision for "build-to-suit" development including a Hotel, Restaurant, Gourmet Coffee Shop, Truck Stop, Service Station and Mini-Mart. This will quadruple the land value from a single 28-acre raw land parcel to a final map-ready, engineering-drawing-ready, 8-lot build-to-suit commercial subdivision.
