Funding is $200,000.00 for all or none of the applications received for review on a quarterly basis. The first review will be done by CCEDC with final approval remaining the purvue of CEURA.
This application process version looks nothing like the original program turned in by the the Downtown Master Framework Committee Report prepared and submitted to Mayor Nancolas in February of 2010. It almost looks like the application for the application that isn't an application.

We wonder just how much "incentive" this will be for any investors given all the effort and time line in the approval process it will take to determine if a project is worthy of any "incentive" money. Based on the amount of money paid for property downtown by CEURA, $200K will buy about 4500 sq/ft of land. In any event the link is above for anyone interested in pursuing a "incentive" grant from CEURA for their project.

A public discourse on the issues of the day makes the world a better place.
We welcome comments but they will be moderated and edited if too long or do not have anything to do with the post.
Agree or disagree just do it without profanity or it won't get posted. Try to keep your comments to no more than 300 words. Too long and I will try to edit it down or simply delete the comment. The whole idea is to get people to read your comment. Don't use 10 words when one will do the job.
It's OK to have a difference of opinion but keep it civil. I have used the "delete" feature on myself at times.
The ANONYMOUS feature for comments seems to be the most user friendly. People have commented they have difficulty with the other methods of posting comments.
