The SBA is offering grants to build Regional Innovation Clusters. Your community, county or region should apply
The SBA, Office of Entrepreneurial Development (OED), has a need for professional support of its Regional Innovation Clusters Program. As a result of the Combined Synopsis/Solicitation, the SBA intends to award an estimated total of seven contracts to contractors to head cluster initiatives. Each contract will be for a base year and four option years. The base year is expected to be for a firm-fixed, level-of-effort (not-to-exceed) price of $500,000.00
With respect to the grant please make note there is emphasis on "Rural Area". SBA is using the Census definition of "Rural Area" in this case. Census definition of "Rural" is unlike the one we are most familiar with, being USDA- Rural Development. Although perplexing rational to many of us, the following Montana counties are considered "Mostly Urban" according to the Census definition.
Custer County
Dawson County
Deer Lodge County
Fergus County
Gallatin County
Glacier County
Hill County
Lewis and Clark County
Missoula County
Park County
Richland County
Roosevelt County
Silver Bow County
Toole County
Yellowstone County
