The funding for this NOFA comes from Ordinance 70435, adopted in 2017, which raises a sales tax to fund economic development. Included in these collected funds is the charge to create real and lasting neighborhood revitalization. A portion of the funds raised by the Economic Development Sales Tax (“EcoDevo”) are reserved for large targeted, place-based investments.

In 2017 City Voters adopted Ordinance 70435 enacting a half-cent Economic Development Sales Tax. Ten percent of this revenue is dedicated to neighborhood revitalization, with a focus on placed-based catalytic investments designed to support the implementation of neighborhood plans.
