Pennsylvania Governor Wolf and the Budget Secretary recently announced a new round for the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP). The new RACP Round for 2022 opens July 25, 2022, and will remain open until August 19, 2022, at 11:59 pm. The Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP) is a Commonwealth grant program administered by the Office of the Budget for the acquisition and construction of regional economic, cultural, civic, recreational, and historical improvement projects. RACP projects are authorized in the Redevelopment Assistance section of a Capital Budget Itemization Act, have a regional or multi-jurisdictional impact, and generate substantial increases or maintain current levels of employment, tax revenues, or other measures of economic activity. RACP projects are state-funded projects that cannot obtain primary funding under other state programs. Please visit the RACP website for the link to apply and view the itemization listing, which will soon be updated with Act 27-2022, e-Application instructions, and the funding schedule. The Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development’s website will start accepting e-RACP Applications for the program on July 25, 2022. All e-Applications require a $500 fee paid via credit card at the time of submission. Questions may be directed to Holli Reidlinger at hreidlinge@pa.gov, George Leach at geleach@pa.gov, and/or Ryan Nornhold at rnornhold@pa.gov.
