M Opportunities I <br />Application and Guidelines I Contact Us <br /> <br />The goal ofthe D.R.E.A.M Initiative is to help several <br />select Missouri communities: <br /> <br />. re-establish the properties in use in the <br />downtown core, <br />. increase property tax values and sales tax <br />opportunities, <br />. re-establish a sense of place and cultural <br />heritage in the heart of the community, and <br />. attract private investment and new jobs. <br /> <br />Any Missouri city can apply for this new program; <br />however, only six to ten communities will be <br />D R E A M designated as a D.R.E.A.M community. Communities <br />. . . . will be designated for a three year period. Cities <br />determined to have the greatest potential to not only <br />N TAT V E make the investment required to secure their future, but <br />also to sustain the effort, will be selected to participate <br />based on the following criteria: <br /> <br />. Missouri communities that have developed, or <br />will develop a viable plan and execute the same <br />for the renovation, rehabilitation and <br />revitalization of the downtown; <br />. Communities presenting a comprehensive <br />approach to downtown revitalization, rather than <br />single-project events; <br />. Communities with the capacity to responsibly <br />undertake a multi-dimensional initiative; and <br />. Communities with the ability to attract and <br />maintain private investment. <br /> <br />MISS9URI M. <br /> <br />DlI'ARTMlNT Of [CONOMIC OI:VUOI'MI.NT <br /> <br /> <br />http://www.dream.mo.gov/targetcommunities.htm <br /> <br />Page 1 of 1 <br /> <br />7/512006 <br />
