The FY 2011 Public Works Prioritization Process is now complete. We are currently revising our process, and will post new information in the next few months on future opportunities to participate.
If you have questions, please contact Chris Endresen-Scott, 206-971-3269.
Each year, PSRC ranks local public works projects based on their economic development impact, and then sends those non-binding recommendations to the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA). The goal of this Public Works Prioritization Process is to help the most deserving local projects pursue federal funding.
To participate in this process, local jurisdictions and eligible non-profit agencies are invited to submit projects for prioritization. Projects should be related to the construction or rehabilitation of essential public infrastructure and development facilities necessary to generate private investments that result in higher-skill, higher-wage jobs.
Applications are rated against federal requirements, as well as consistency with PSRC’s regional planning documents: VISION 2040, Transportation 2040 and the Regional Economic Strategy. Once projects are numerically ranked and these non-binding recommendations are sent to EDA, sponsors of these projects then directly contact the EDA to pursue funding. PSRC staff is available to assist sponsors of top tier projects to work with EDA staff on their proposals.
