Opportunity Fund: The application process for the Pro Parks
Opportunity Fund has officially begun with application forms now available
and due on Dec. 17. This summer the Pro Parks Levy Oversight Committee
recommended that the $10 million Opportunity Fund be divided into two
funding cycles over the eight-year course of the levy, with $6 million
allocated in the first cycle and $4 million for the second cycle.
Of the $6 million in the first cycle, $5 million will be dedicated
to acquisition projects and $1 million to development projects. Of the
$5 million for acquisitions, $2 million will be available through an
open application process; the remaining $3 million will be targeted
for acquisitions in three underserved "urban villages:" the
University District, Denny Triangle and Pioneer Square/International
District.
