A total of 27 projects were submitted through the Open Call for Projects, including a mix of building rehabilitation projects proposing new residential and commercial uses, public improvement projects, a Small Project Grant Fund, and a wayfinding strategy. These initial submissions total more than $23 million in DRI funding requests. Between now and November, the LPC will discuss and evaluate DRI projects and recommend a slate of projects worth $12-15 million to recommend to the State for funding. Ultimately, $10 million worth of projects will be funded through the DRI.
These slides present an overview of the projects that remain under consideration by the LPC for DRI funding. In September, a public workshop will be held to gauge the public support for the projects. Stay tuned for more details.
