NMEDD, Funding Agencies Call on Communities to Submit Economic
Development Project Proposals for Funding Opportunities

Deadline for communities to submit a project
for consideration is Feb. 16th.

The New Mexico Economic Development Department will host the next FUNDIT
meeting on March 6th to help local leaders identify funding for economic
development projects. New Mexico FUNDIT, is a streamlined approach to
help communities identify funding opportunities in one centralized
location by bringing local, state and federal funding agencies together
to analyze and compare proposals for capital projects. The state is
calling on communities to submit project proposals by February 16th, for
review during its upcoming meeting.

New Mexico FUNDIT is an informal group of funding agencies that meets
regularly to review potential projects. Over 13 Federal and State
entities are represented in the group. Their goal is to improve the
effectiveness of project review and support, while ensuring communities
have the information they need to obtain full funding for projects.

Projects should be of public interest; projects from commercial
businesses are not eligible for this program. The types of projects to
be considered include:

	* Business Development
	* Community Development
	* Infrastructure Development
	* Housing Projects
	* Downtown Redevelopment

The meeting will take place from 1:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. The meeting is on
March 6th, at MRCOG, 809 Copper Ave NW, Albuquerque, NM 87102. For more
information, to submit a project application or to RSVP contact Johanna
Nelson at Johanna.Nelson at state.nm.us, 505-827-0264. The application can
