Re: FY 2019-2020 Community Planning Technical Assistance Grants
Dear Mayor Hill:
Thank you for your interest in the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity's
Community Planning Technical Assistance grant program. The level of interest in the program
continues to be extremely high. For the 2019-2020 grant cycle, the department received 94
requests totaling nearly $3.3 million, which made for a challenging selection process.
Although your grant request to update the City's Comprehensive Plan was not selected
for funding this fiscal year, we encourage you to apply again in the future should funding be
available. In addition, our team is available to discuss how we may be of assistance to you,
identify other potential funding opportunities to address your needs or provide feedback on
how the grant request might be improved for a future grant cycle.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Kelly Corvin, Regional
Planning Administrator, by telephone at 850-717-8503 or by email at
Kelly.Corvin@deo.my0orida.com. We appreciate your efforts to create a vibrant, strong
community through innovative planning and development strategies.
Since y, —
James Stansbury, Chief
Bureau of Community Planning & Growth
