The Local Planning Committee will recommend a select group of projects for funding in their Strategic Investment Plan (SIP). This Open Call for Projects solicits projects from the public, not-for-profit, and private interests.
​
The best projects will satisfy most or all of these criteria:
-
Have a transformative impact on the downtown;
-
Catalyze additional private and/or public investment and socio-economic benefits;
-
Provide broad public benefit including co-benefits beyond the project's primary purpose;
-
Be ready for implementation in the near term (within 2-3 years);
-
Most effectively advance the community's vision and goals;
-
Align with the DRI program goals and eligibility requirements; and
-
Represent an effective and efficient use of public resources.
If you have an idea for a smaller project that does not meet the requirements in terms of project size and scale, please download and fill out a Small Project Fund Interest Form.
