[Sc-aquaponics] Fw: Local Foods, Local Places program’s NEW open application period for 2021

Tue Oct 27 12:53:30 EDT 2020

Midwest folks,

it seems that I am receiving this late as the applications are due in only two weeks and there was a recorded webinar on this October 9th (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L36g4m7mTB8&feature=youtu.be). However, please see below and consider applying if you qualify, especially those that are in a federally designated Opportunity Zones<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https*3A*2F*2Fwww.cdfifund.gov*2FPages*2FOpportunity-Zones.aspx&data=04*7C01*7CMayeKey.Hollis*40epa.gov*7C153a8cb172b14ee0d7ca08d879e03e27*7C88b378b367484867acf976aacbeca6a7*7C0*7C0*7C637393351304712257*7CUnknown*7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0*3D*7C1000&sdata=tJdMhZum*2FJoJuAOcYK1y7sNbh4SxME0QPsjZEseat3U*3D&reserved=0__;JSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJQ!!KGKeukY!iKf6l_54r6mRN7Kr0UW9d0oB58j7Pr3jz-ixPcH0okucRW_9M0m5hqaJQ34GgYxp$>.

I do not know anything about the program except what I saw here with a quick read. If you're highly interested and have a great idea, I suggest you to first reach out to your local County Extension Office for primary support. If you decide to move forward with a proposal and would like to brainstorm with me, feel free to email/Zoom, or call me (after contacting your Extension office).

Regards,

Matt

Good Morning Smart Growth Network,

Please help us spread the word about the Local Foods, Local Places program’s new open application period for 2021! The deadline has been extended to November 13, 2020.

Do you know ways to reach harder-to-reach or underserved communities — especially those which have come together around food as a priority, whether food equity, food access, food businesses or local food entrepreneurship.

Please share this RFA with them today! (And share your advice to us on additional outreach we in OCR can do.)

The program this year is sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agriculture Marketing Service. To date, 124 communities have benefitted from assistance with support from EPA, USDA, as well as many participating federal and state partners.

EPA and USDA invite communities interested in revitalizing neighborhoods through development of local food systems to apply for Local Foods, Local Places<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.epa.gov/smartgrowth/local-foods-local-places__;!!KGKeukY!iKf6l_54r6mRN7Kr0UW9d0oB58j7Pr3jz-ixPcH0okucRW_9M0m5hqaJQ_F06uL2$> technical assistance. Local Foods, Local Places supports projects that:

  *   Create livable, walkable, economically vibrant main streets and mixed-use neighborhoods.
  *   Boost economic opportunities for local farmers and main street businesses.
  *   Improve access to healthy, local food, especially among disadvantaged populations.

Eligibility: Eligible applicants include local governments, Indian tribes, and nonprofit institutions and organizations proposing to work in a neighborhood, town, or city of any size anywhere in the United States. This year, communities with projects located in federally designated Opportunity Zones<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https*3A*2F*2Fwww.cdfifund.gov*2FPages*2FOpportunity-Zones.aspx&data=04*7C01*7CMayeKey.Hollis*40epa.gov*7C153a8cb172b14ee0d7ca08d879e03e27*7C88b378b367484867acf976aacbeca6a7*7C0*7C0*7C637393351304712257*7CUnknown*7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0*3D*7C1000&sdata=tJdMhZum*2FJoJuAOcYK1y7sNbh4SxME0QPsjZEseat3U*3D&reserved=0__;JSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJQ!!KGKeukY!iKf6l_54r6mRN7Kr0UW9d0oB58j7Pr3jz-ixPcH0okucRW_9M0m5hqaJQ34GgYxp$> will receive special consideration. Highest consideration will be given to those communities who can identify how Local Foods, Local Places assistance will leverage the Opportunity Zone designation to support implementation of the resulting action plan.

Deadline: November 13, 2020 (Recently extended!)

How to apply: See the complete application instructions at:

https://www.epa.gov/smartgrowth/local-foods-local-places-2020-2021-application<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.epa.gov/smartgrowth/local-foods-local-places-2020-2021-application__;!!KGKeukY!iKf6l_54r6mRN7Kr0UW9d0oB58j7Pr3jz-ixPcH0okucRW_9M0m5hqaJQxJlZQM5$>
