By August 31 st, a number of steps must be completed including update of the <br />Regional Strategic Plan using specific guidelines from DHCD and development of both <br />existing and "new" economic development projects to be scored by DCHD. Another <br />requirement is obtaining resolutions with specific language from each participating <br />locality. To date, all of our localities have indicated they wish to participate with the <br />same geographic configuration and funding distribution. To get the process started, I am <br />enclosing a resolution including the items which the program guidelines specifically <br />require. Please place this on your upcoming agenda and rem to me after adoption, <br />along with the enclosed W-9, "Request for Taxpayer ID Number & Certification." <br /> <br />We are working on the annual report which is due on June 30th. We will need to have an <br />Alliance meeting on Thursday, June 12th, to review the armual report before its <br />submission and possibly to approve the update of the Regional Strategic Plan if we can <br />have it completed by that date. <br /> <br />If you have questions or need additional information, please let me know., <br /> <br /> <br />
