SEPTEMBER 09
The following is a
correspondence from PHLF’s Eugene Matta to the nine Beaver
County Municipalities:
I
have put in the mail to each Municipality the following
documents:
1 - Letter with the current
status and information on requirements to complete the Single
Application;
2 - Pgs. 43, 44, and 45 of the
DCED New Communities, Program Guidelines, for Residential
Reinvestment Grants;
3 - A copy of the Elm Street
Plan for each of the nine Municipalities, prepared by Town
Center Associates with the collaboration of The Beaver County
Community Development Plan.
As you may be aware, originally I was
asked to prepare one consolidated Single Application for all
nine Municipalities. That did not work, and it was not until
recently that DCED's Ed Geiger, in consultation with his staff,
decided that the proper way of doing this was to prepare nine
different Single Applications, one for each Municipality. In my
letter to you I cite Mr. Geiger's comment and the requirements
that each Single Application must include.
The Program Guidelines I
included in the package include the specific requirements, and
the Elm Street Plan for each Municipality contain all the
information needed to meet those requirements. You need,
however, review the Elm Street Plans and update any information
as needed.
I'll be happy to assist you in
putting this information together, and once we have all we need
I'll prepare the nine Single Applications. Although PA State
still has no budget, and many predict cuts that may or may not
affect Elm Street and Main Street programs, I think we should be
prepared just in case. And if not this year, given the budget
foes, maybe next or the following.
