Recovery Program
Competitive Projects
Competitive grant processes will be used by federal and state agencies to distribute much of the ARRA funding. Grants must be submitted to meet tight timelines, and only the best developed and explained ideas are likely to be funded. Fort Worth and its partner agencies are collaborating so they don’t compete against each other and to maximize the amount of funding granted for area projects.
