Each year the TJ Venture has the opportunity to revisit the benchmarks and revise them according to the changing reality. To date no revisions have been made. It is planned to meet in early 2001 to review the appropriateness of the benchmarks. The benchmarks indicate program activities as programs expand or become self-sufficient. TJ Venture Funding.
All funding is received from the state.
This is subject to change, depending on the appropriations from the General Assembly. Funding is available only for those programs contained in the Strategic Plan. The program is not a source of instant funds. Funding is primarily for seeding projects, though some, such as the employee survey, are one-time projects designed to provide basic support to the activities of the TJ Venture and its member localities. Recipients of funds are expected to leverage the funds with other sources and to move toward a state of self-sufficiency by the end of the project life in the Strategic Plan.
