In this time of tight local government budgets, special planning and development projects have been delayed or indefinitely postponed. Rather than fret over funding shortages, there is no better time than now to diversify traditional funding sources and follow through on projects that can benefit your community.

Seeking grant funding can help your local government receive earmarked revenue for specific service and equipment needs, as well as to assist with infrastructure redevelopment, or to launch a community wide idea that leads to a specific and positive outcome.

The Mellgren Planning Group helps local governments by writing grant proposals that are compelling and competitive. We cannot guarantee funding, but we do provide you with professional and time-saving research, writing and follow-up services that give your government a competitive edge.

MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS

Grant applications have a variety of mandated requirements for project-specific analysis, historical data, facility inventory, electronic and hard copy deliverables, mapping, photographs and deadlines. These requirements can place an extra burden on your planning and community development departments to research funding sources, write grants, follow up, secure funding and administer the program.
