The State Small Business Initiative holds promise for many of the critical needs that cities and counties are facing, and it is authorized through 2030.
ODOD will fund projects that construct or redevelop more than 7.4 million square feet of retail, housing, dining, office, lodging and entertainment space.
The goal of the investment is to reduce the need to travel outside city limits to work, shop and dine, keeping people and their money within city limits.
