NRSA Update

Laurel, Steve and I had a very productive meeting this morning. Before I go into our ideas, here is the break-down of the NRSA funds:

• Housing Rehab 54,000
• Business Development 20,000
• Business Promotion 17,000
• Facades 15,000
• Workforce Development 15,000
• Trash Receptacles 10,000
• Streetscape 10,000
• Main Street Organization 2,000

Total Funds 143,000... Our main thoughts right now are that we have the monies in place, but how do we them invested back into the area. To that end, we decided that showcasing the developments with the properties housing Golden Pizza and Suneys, which will pull monies from various components of the NRSA, would be a great way to get the word out.

Currently I am going to get in touch with Paul Morano to determine where we stand on these projects and Steve is going to contact Rod Lee from the Telegram. A story on the Chandler Street Business corridor highlighting the work at Suney's/Golden Pizza would be a great way to advertise the benefits of the NRSA to area businesses.
