ICASARRUS COUNt'] <br /> ~QIITH ~AROLINA <br /> <br />To: Cabarms County Board of Commissioners <br /> <br />From: Kelly Sifford, AICP <br /> <br />Date: September 8, 2003 <br /> <br />Re: CDBG Economic Development Grant <br /> <br />On September 2, 2003, the North Carolina Department of Commerce made available a <br />grant opportunity for economic development. The grants available are for economic <br />recovery. I would like to apply for an economic recovery grant that would fund a reuse <br />study for the Pillowtex plants. Cabarrus County can apply for up to $200,000. I have <br />been coordinating with Kannapolis' Assistant City Manager and Community <br />Development staffregarding the application. The City of Concord's Community <br />Development Staff has also expressed interest in the grant. I expect that much of the <br />coordination will be after the grant award, if funded. We will need an advisory <br />committee to help identify the specific scope of the reuse plan. This committee can be <br />identified after funding is made available. The grant application is due October 1, 2003. <br />There is no local match requirement; however, we are required to hold one public hearing <br />prior to the application submission and another if funded. <br /> <br /> Planning Services Department <br /> f~O.
