13-2707. Department; evaluation criteria.

The department shall evaluate all applications for grants of assistance based on the following criteria:

(1) Attraction impact. Funding decisions by the department shall be based in part on the likelihood of the project attracting new civic or community activity to Nebraska from outside of Nebraska. A project with greater out-of-state draw shall be preferred over a project with less impact;

(2) Socioeconomic impact. The project's potential for long-term positive impacts on the local and regional economy and society;

(3) Financial support. Assistance from the fund shall be matched at least equally from local sources. At least fifty percent of the local match must be in cash. Projects with a higher level of local matching funds shall be preferred as compared to those with a lower level of matching funds;

(4) Readiness. The applicant's fiscal and economic capacity to finance the local share and ability to proceed and implement its plan and operate the civic or community center;

(5) Project location. A project shall be located in the municipality that applies for the grant; and

(6) Project planning. Projects with completed technical assistance and feasibility studies shall be preferred to those with no prior planning.
