Become a project sponsor!

 

The Local Planning Committee will recommend a select group of projects for funding in their Strategic Investment Plan (SIP). The Open Call for Projects solicited 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.

 

 

Applicants with an idea for a smaller project that did not meet the requirements in terms of project size and scale, were invited to download and fill out a Small Project Fund Interest Form.
