Richard Hernandez says he anticipates an answer to the grant request in October; if grant awarded, REDC will receive supplemental support from Community College for possibly five years after which it expects to be fully self-supporting
The director of the Regional Economic Development Center (REDC) located at the Yavapai Community College Prescott Valley Center, met with the District Governing Board on September 8 during the Board’s special Work Session. During the meeting, Mr. Richard Hernandez outlined the plans for a major expansion of REDC at the Prescott Valley Center.
As he described the plan, the first phase of the expansion would be based on obtaining a $9.7 million dollar grant that the REDC has already applied for. He anticipates receiving information about the grant decision as early as October of this year.
Mr. Hernandez provided the Governing Board with a video sketch of what the expansion might eventually look like. A portion of the video shown to the public and the Governing Board appears below with Mr. Hernandez narrating how various spaces could be utilized. You are encouraged to spend about ten minutes with the video and the potential plans for this exciting project are outlined.
