As is vital in any real estate transaction, the Trust is cautious to protect confidential information until the parties have executed their real estate transactions. Until a Project is closed on between a property owner and the Eligible Entity, we will withhold identifying project information.
The Trust’s Grants Committee reviewed and ranked each project against criteria outlined in the Trust’s establishment ordinance and other pertinent measures. This summary has been posted on the Trust website to allow for public input and afford information to members of the County Council. The long-term goal is to identify and fund worthy projects in each Council district.
