ONEGEORGIA AUTHORITY
Preapplication for Equity Fund Financial Assistance
The Equity Fund Financial Assistance Preapplication is used by the OneGeorgia Authority (OGA) to evaluate proposals from eligible Preapplicants for economic development projects. If a proposal meets all statutory and regulatory criteria as well as program regulations and objectives, the proponent will be invited to submit a full application. Please visit other areas of our Web site at www.onegeorgia.org. The site contains information on all OneGeorgia Authority programs, regulations and requirements including applications and instructions.
Please answer all questions completely and accurately. Be concise, attaching a narrative statement that responds to all questions in the order listed. The source and use of funds section should be completed and reconciled to the total project cost on the cover page. The Preapplication narrative can include as many pages as necessary. Please submit the Preapplication online with an electronic signature.
Proponents are encouraged to contact the staff of the OneGeorgia Authority and/or the Department of Community Affairs prior to completing the Preapplication. Staff is available to provide technical advice and assistance in identifying and resolving critical issues.
An application is a serious undertaking which involves significant staff time and perhaps coordination with other local, state and Federal agencies. For construction projects, this may involve engineering and legal services which may only be eligible for reimbursement with grant funds if authorized by the OGA Office prior to submission of the application.
In order to qualify as a multi-county or regional facility, the construction or acquisition project must a) be owned by at least two local governments with the participation of at least two counties, or b) be owned by a joint development authority involving two or more counties. All facilities must operate under a revenue sharing agreement among two or more local governments.
Multi-county or regional activities that do not involve construction such as studies, marketing, professional services, contracts, and other economic development activities must demonstrate service to a multi-county area.
For your convenience you may download the Preapplication Word Document and fill it out prior to filling out the online version, then copy and paste the entries.
