Re: Seminole County Consolidated Plan Development Process, Application for Funding
Program Year 2004-2005, New Neighborhood Community Center
Dear Mr. Pula,
Your application for the Program Year 2004-2005 has not been recommended for funding.
Over twenty five (25) applications for funding were submitted. Overall, this represents an
outstanding show of interest by local organizations.
The Community Development Office would like to thank you for your Project Submission. Your
response and interest in the development of projects/activities that benefit low and moderate-
income persons/households is to be commended.
The Community Development Office, of Seminole County Government, encourages you to
apply for funding for Program Year 2005-2006. Applications will be available around the second
week of January, 2005.
Although we will be conducting a general Funding Workshop sometime in February, 2005, we
will be happy to provide direct technical assistance to you concerning your unsuccessful
application.
Please, if you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to call me at 407-665-7384.
