Seattle Port Commission starts give-away economic development scheme
THE Port of Seattle Commission has created the Port Economic Development Partnership Programme that will make available US$962,435 to 38 cities and towns funding to advance local economic projects.
The match grants will range from $5,000 to $65,000 for eligible projects based on population, and requires cities to match 50 per cent of the port's money.
"The Port of Seattle Commission is committed to driving economic development across all communities in King County," said commission president John Creighton.
"By investing in our communities, we can advance our Century Agenda goal to grow more middle class jobs throughout the region."
"The Port of Seattle is looking to step up and fill a critical gap where other funding sources aren't available," said Commissioner Stephanie Bowman.
"This programme can support such initiatives as business recruitment, small business development, tourism, property development, and industry retention and expansion."
