Lacy Clay (D) Missouri at a special Promise Zone summit that he will be hosting this Friday, December 4th, at Harris-Stowe State University's Emerson Physical Education and Performing Arts Center at 9:00 a.m. CST. Acting on a request from Congressman Clay and the St. Louis Economic Development Partnership, in April, President Obama designated a portion of the 1stcongressional district as one of only six urban Promise Zones that will receive preferential treatment for competitive federal grant applications. The highly-coveted Promise Zone designation offers a potential windfall for the most economically distressed parts of our region if we take full advantage of it, said the Congressman. My summit will help local elected officials and community service providers learn how to leverage this powerful new tool to win maximum federal grant funding. I invite everyone to come by to learn more about this unprecedented opportunity. Local elected officials, leading nonprofit organizations and citizens from both St. Louis City and County will hear first-hand from federal officials about how the St. Louis community can leverage the new Promise Zone designation to win federal funding from 12 different federal departments who offer competitive grants via 35 different programs. The Regional Director of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, (which administers the Promise Zone program), as well as senior executives from the Departments of Justice, Labor, Treasury, HHS, Transportation, Education, Commerce, the SBA, the NEA are expected to attend.
