Item E - Revata Consulting - Grant Opportunities Proposal

(EDA) Public Works and Economic Adjustment Assistance Programs (Round-bout project) Deadline: Revolving application, no specific deadline window. Applications are accepted and reviewed until the fund runs out or FY 2025 ends. Award ceiling: $30,000,000 Award floor: $100,000 Assistance listing: 11.300 -- Investments for Public Works and Economic Development Facilities The Public Works and Economic Development Facilities (Public Works) program assists communities to revitalize and expand their physical and economic infrastructure and also supports the creation and retention of jobs for area residents by helping eligible recipients with their efforts to promote the economic development of their local economies. Public Works grants may fund construction and related activities, such as design, engineering, and acquisition of related property, machinery, and equipment. Section 302 of the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965 (PWEDA) (42 USC section 3162) requires that Public Works and Economic Adjustment Assistance grants be consistent with a CEDS or equivalent EDA-accepted regional economic development strategy. Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) Critical to this grant opportunity is that the service area of the facility qualifies along certain metrics required of this program demonstrating the community is in economic distress with lower-than-average household incomes. Applicants must clearly detail how the proposed project will support the economic development needs and objectives outlined in the CEDS or equivalent strategy. Applicants should identify the CEDS or strategy and provide a copy of this planning document, either by attaching the document to the application or by submitting a hard copy. In addition, applicants should highlight where and how the proposed project will be aligned with, integrated into, and/or will further leverage other public and private investments in the community and region. Critical to a successful application here will be tying the infrastructure project to specific economic development outcomes and objectives contained within Tiffin’s comprehensive strategy. Forecasted Opportunities Below are opportunities we identified as potentially opening up in the future – either because they have been granting opportunities available in the past, or because the government has indicated a forecasted opening date and intend on accepting applications soon, but the window for submission has not yet opened.
