ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: May 18, 2010 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No, ~-_~ <br />SUBJECT: Grant Submittals to 1) US Department of Agriculture, Rural Development - <br />Community Facilities Grant Program and 2) NC Specialty Crops Program for <br />the Piedmont Food and Agricultural Processing Center <br />DEPARTMENT: Economic Development PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />Summaries of Two Grant Opportunities <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Noah Ranells, 245-2330 <br />Brad Broadwell, EDC Director, 245-2325 <br />PURPOSE: To authorize staff to submit 1) a $250,000 grant proposal to the US Department of <br />Agriculture, Rural Development -Community Facilities grant program and 2) a $100,000 grant <br />proposal to the NC Specialty Crops Program for the Piedmont Food and Agricultural Processing <br />Center. <br />BACKGROUND: Estimates for the establishment of the Processing Center were based on a <br />2007 Feasibility Study. Unforeseen aspects of the infrastructure at the 500 Valley Forge Road <br />facility increased the renovation budget. Additional funds are required to obtain the full range of <br />equipment for the Processing Center. Additional equipment will enhance the capability for the <br />Processing Center to be fully supported through revenues that it generates. <br />The Community Facilities grant program has a rolling deadline and the Specialty Crops program <br />has a June 4~h deadline. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with submitting these grant <br />proposals. There is no local match required. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board authorize staff to submit grant <br />proposals to 1) the US Department of Agriculture, Rural Development -Community Facilities <br />grant program and 2) the NC Specialty Crops Program for the Piedmont Food and Agricultural <br />Processing Center. <br />
