Regional Planning Grant program</span></a>. The program,
announced last week by HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan, is designed to
create economically competitive, healthy, opportunity-rich communities.
Funding was approved by Congress in HUD's 2010 budget, as part of a
$200 million fund for the agency's new Office of Sustainable Housing
and Communities.<br>
<br>
According to HUD, the regional planning grants will be awarded
competitively to regional partnerships consisting of state and local
governments, MPOs, educational institutions, non-profit organizations
and philanthropic organizations. <br>
<br>
ACOG serves the greater Oklahoma City region as the designated metropolitan
planning organization (MPO), and works on mobility, public safety and
livability programs for Central Oklahoma.<br>
<br>
Through the grant application process, ACOG hopes to foster long-term
relationships between entities in the region who may not have
traditionally worked together in the past. <br>
<br>
"We are conscious of the connections between housing, land-use,
economic and workforce development and transportation through our
planning work. A sustainable communities regional plan would address
these issues, and improve our quality of life in Central
Oklahoma," said ACOG Executive Director John G. Johnson.<br>
<br>
ACOG has already been in contact with some potential partners,
including local governments, non-profit organizations, and
philanthropic organizations, but wants to make the invitation as
comprehensive as possible. <br>
<br>
Interested organizations should contact <a

href="mailto:nfranklin@acogok.org" target="_blank"><span
style='color:#3C77C5'>Nicolle Franklin</span></a> at ACOG, 234-2264 for
more information and to meet the application deadline of August 23,
2010. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
