Public Facilities Program
Community facilities enhance the lives of residents in numerous ways. Libraries, museums, community centers, and performance spaces open doors to knowledge and ideas, culture, and enjoyment. In addition to community facilities, historic preservation projects are eligible for the Public Facilities Program (PFP) grant. The goals of the PFP grant are to improve quality of place and generate jobs that spur economic revitalization.
The maximum grant award is $750,000 for all Public Facility Program Grants. A local match of 10% of the total project cost will be required for consideration of funding. The maximum award is not intended to serve as a target figure for requests for grant assistance. OCRA will review the level of grant assistance requested and will consider the appropriateness of the project’s scope, the level of demonstrated need and the financial resources of the applicant. If OCRA determines that a lesser amount is appropriate, it may be necessary to revise the project before it is submitted in final form.
