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.
Sincerely,
