Projects will be prioritized based on readiness with a focus on project initiation within a two-year time frame. Also eligible are projects seeking phase I support and evaluated against similarly situated projects. Projects in economically disadvantaged areas will be prioritized for funding and evaluated using objective, data-based criteria.
