HUD awarded a $4.25 million Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant to MARC, which applied for the grant on behalf of a broad coalition of partners, including seven counties, 22 cities and 32 business, university and nonprofit organizations.
The three-year grant will fund the Creating Sustainable Places initiative, which will include developing plans for six key corridors, implementing four to six demonstration projects, creating technical tools and providing training opportunities. MARC will work with over 60 local government and other community partners on the grant.
The corridor plans will integrate land-use, transportation, housing and environmental sustainability principles along six key corridors across the region:
The demonstration projects will include a housing effort in the Green Impact Zone, a 150-square block area in the urban core of Kansas City, Missouri, that is the focus of targeted efforts to transform a community that has seen years of disinvestment, and other projects to be selected later. More information about the Creating Sustainable Places initiative is available online at www.marc.org/sustainableplaces link.
