Following the FY 2002 appropriation by the General Assembly, the OneGeorgia Authority Board will develop appropriate fund accounts for next year. Eligible applicants for the Equity and EDGE funds are cities, counties, government authorities and joint or multi-county development authorities. Eligible uses of EDGE funds are the development of public infrastructure, land acquisition and site development. The Equity fund regulations were written to be very broad and flexible and can be used for a variety of activities to assist in preparation for economic development. Eligible projects include traditional economic development projects such as water and sewer projects, road, rail and airport improvements and industrial parks as well as workforce development projects, technology development or tourism development proposals, just to name a few.
Special consideration is given to projects of regional significance.
It is important to remember that the Equity and EDGE funds are very limited funding sources. Projects should be considered for other sources of funds before applying for OneGeorgia assistance. In addition, funding will be tied to performance-based criteria. You can find all regulations , application forms , tier map and PowerPoint presentations on this site.
