For purposes of this application, a region is defined as an economic unit of human, natural, technological, capital or other resources, defined geographically. Geographic areas comprising a region need not be continguous or defined by political boundaries, but should constitute a cohesive area capable of undertaking self-sustained economic development." (See 13 C.F.R. § 300.3 for the definition of "Region.") Southeast Michigan is a seven-county region comprised of Lapeer, Livingston, Macomb, Oakland, St. Clair, Washtenaw, and Wayne counties; accounting for 4B of the _states population. This planning project is specifically intended for the City of Pontiac, within Oakland County, MI. With appropriate planning and implementation, it is anticipated that an Economic Recovery Plan for Pontiac will assist Oakland County in reaching its goal of full employment while also reducing local and regional unemployment rates. The addition of high-wage and middle-ware jobs within the City of Pontiac will positively impact the median income of the working class. Furthermore, attracting business back into the city will reduce the building vacancy rates, thereby increasing the tax revenues and improving the business climate. With the location of businesses in the city comes the addition of jobs for city residents. i,nvestme-'(P roject) Provide a detailed description of . re complete scope of work for the proposed EDA investment, If you are proposing a construction project, please include specific construction components. Also, for National Technical Assistance, Training and Research and Evaluation Projects, provide a description of the methodology to be used to complete the project. Funding will allow Oakland County to create an economic recovery plan designed to stimulate and guide the economic development efforts of the City of Pontiac, Michigan. Oakland County intends to contract and work closely with a Consultant who will be tasked with developing a plan to address the economic development strategies established for the region. The Consultant will provide a road map to accomplish the economic recovery plan by: Exploring - Including preliminary assessment of current status, definition of boundaries, review of existing data/documents, and stakeholder analysis. Decision. Making - Understanding, deciding and planning a project to reach a common objective. Economic Recovery Plan Development - Defining how to reach the appropriate goals.

(See • : ) (Note: Except for strategy grants as described in 13 C.F.R. § 303.7, the region in which Public Works or Economic Adjustment projects will be located must have a CEDS with which the project is consistent.) Yes No If Yes, what is the source? Note: If you are unsure if your region has a CEDS, please contact your local District Organization. Southeast Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOC) If No, what alternate strategic planning document do you wish to govern this investment? Note: You will be asked to provide a copy of this planning document if your project is selected for further consideration. You may provide this now using the 'Attachments' form that is part of the application package downloaded from or in hard copy. b. Briefly describe the economic development needs of the region and now the proposed investment addresses the goals and objectives of the CE.DS for the region or the alternate strategic planning document as noted above. (See 13 part 303.) The regional CEDE includes II strategies with the overall goal of Increasing Jobs and Prosperity in Southeast Michigan. These will be the basis for planning in the City of Pontiac. Relow individual strategies: - Educating Our Future Workforce - Retooling Our Workforce - Advancing innovation and Technology - Creating an Entrepreneurial Culture - Increasing Capital Funding - Designing a Fair and Competitive Tax Structure - Shaping Responsive Government - Enhancing Transportation Connections - Optimizing Infrastructure Investment - Marketing the Region - Strengthening Quality of Place strategies are Funding from the Economic Development Administration for a Planning Program will allow the City of Pontiac and Oakland County to adopt a clear and strategic vision that parallels the regional initiative set forth in the C7DS. Briefly describe the economic conditions of the region described in A.1, as well as the economic adjustment problems or economic dislocations the region has experienced (or is about to experience) and the regional impact of these conditions. The seven-county Southeast Michigan region is on •a major upswing. Unemployment continues to hover around 10% with just over 200,000 unemployed residents, down significantly from a high of 363,000 in July 2009. Within the region, Oakland County is also thriving and is recognized as one of the most prosperous counties in the nation. Over half of the County's residents have a college degree with about 42% having attained a bachelor's degree and nearly 10% with post-graduate degrees. Pontiac, however, is an economically distressed city with a per capita income of only $16,852 and an unemployment rate of 21.7% (Dec 2012), almost three times the national average of 7.9% (Jan 2013). Between 2008 and 2010, the area lost two GM auto manufacturing facilities and tens of thousands of jobs. The job losses crippled the city and resulted in a $12 million deficit. The US Census Bureau reports that the population of Pontiac decreased 10% from 2000 to 2010 alone. As a result, the city is currently run by a State of Michigan appointed emergency financial manager to oversee the operation of city government. The auto .industry has not been the only contributing factor to Pontiao's Problems. The historic downtown, once the hub of community commerce, Has faced many challenges. The migration of residents to outlying suburbs, the movement of retail outlets to large central malls and commercial strips, changing lifestyle preferences, and demographic -Shifts have all conspired to draw people and commerce away from Downtown Pontiac. Finally, bad planning decisions in the early 1960's literally strangled the downtown. The once vibrant central business district still shows the scars of Urban Renewal, with many buildings demolished and never rebuilt. A.4. investment (Project) impact and Fit with EDP. Funthng Prioritiee Discuss how the proposed investment satisfies EDA's investment Policy Guidelines as set forth in 13 C.F.R. § 301.8, as well as the EDA funding priorities set forth in the applicable Federal Funding Opportunity (FFO) announcement on Inherent in this planning project will be the incorporation of all cf the BOA current investment Policy Guidelines. In this regard, the planning strategies developed and adopted for Pontiac's economic recovery plan will Be market-based and results driven. The recovery plan will focus on revitalizing the once strong, if not dominant, competitive strengths and inherent assets of the Pontiac region. All economic development strategies developed will have dualitative and quantifiable goals that will result in measurable economic improvement. Rave strong organizational leadership. The Recovery Planning Project will be directed by, and have the full cooneratem ci, the Planning and Economic Development Division of Gehlen County in direct collaboration with the County Foard of Commissioners and the leadership team of the City . of PontHsc. In addition, the leadership team of the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOG) will be involved in working with the planning team to ensure that goals and objectives align with the existing CEDS. eeiiie eieeeeeeeeee ( eieeeeeeie eie eieeeeeeeeeeeeee The overarching theme of the project will be to develop a plan that is based upon leading edge economic development thoughts and strategies. It will be critical that this effort develop strategies that recognize and place emphasis on the need for an economic environment that rewards new ideas, is innovative in its approach, and is attractive to entrepreneurs. The County of Oakland will place the full force of its considerable business accelerator initiatives behind the project to include Automation Alley, OU INC, the Emerging Sectors and Medical Main Street. The plan will also incorporate input from the State and local organizations involved in business development regarding any forward thinking strategies. It is anticipated that any available technical assistance organizations will also provide input. Look beyond the immediate economic horizon, anticipate economic changes and diversify the local and regional economy. The CEDS .developed by SEMCOG places a priority on planning for the long- term in Southeast Michigan.. The City of Pontiac's economic recovery plan will not only revitalize the city but, more importantly, play an integral role in regional growth. The entire region will benefit when Pontiac becomes the productive, thriving business environment that it used to be. Further., the plan will benefit from the lessons .learned in the impressive economic turnaround that has occurred in the region in addition to having access to the comprehensive and exhaustive research that has been accomplished to determine future trends and needs in the region. It will make the effort to anticipate economic changes in the planning effort extremely effective. Demonstrate a high degree of local commitment. Strategy committee membership represents a high degree of local commitment with the inclusion of stakeholders from higher education., community organizations, workforce development, private sector employers and public governmental partners. The economic recovery plan will satisfy FDA funding priorities through: Collaborative Regional Innovation: Working in a vacuum has done little, if anything, for the City of Pontiac. Oakland County will leverage its resources and relationships to work closely with SEMCOG to stimulate and advance great ideas that speed innovative and technology-driven ideas to market. Public/Private Partnerships: Depending on the outcomes of the planning grant and the initiatives proposed therein, the City of Pontiac and Oakland County are prepared to engage the support of both non-profit and for profit entities to advance the specific objectives of the recovery plan, As is outlined within the Strategy Committee Membership section, representatives from both the public and private sector(s) will be consulted in the planning phase and specific contributions and/or investments will be solicited upon plan implementation. It is anticipated that the Pontiac Downtown Business Association and the Pontiac Regional Chamber will play a critical role in engaging the support of local businesses. Other major employers including General Motors, Doctor's Hospital of Michigan, McLaren Oakland Hospital, and St. Joseph. Mercy Hospital - Oakland will be engaged in various aspects of the recovery plan. National Strategic Priorities: The EPA's National Strategic Priorities Were written with Southeast Michigan, and specifically Pontiac, in mind. It is well documented that Pontiac is a community severely impacted by automotive industry restructuring. In addition, SEMCOG has identified six clusters which are either historically linked to the region or are viewed as opportunities for growth. Three of the most highly concentrated clusters are closely tied to the automotive industry - professional and technical services; management of companies; and manufacturing. Three additional clusters deserve attention for attracting future growth - health care and social assistance; transportation and warehousing; and information. Global Competitiveness: The City of Pontiac has the ability to tap into the many initiatives that :support innovation-based entrepreneurs looking to expand and complete in global markets through Automation Alley - a regional technology business association and driver of the innovation cluster in Southeast Michigan. Automation Alley focuses on the importance ofeincreasing global competitiveness through the expansion of U.S. exports. Businesses already located in Pontiac as well as those who may consider moving to the city's business district will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities from trade missions to seminars and worksholno on exporting and doing business abroad. Furthermore, Automation Alley is home to an International Business Center which provides a soft landing space for international companies to use as a home base while exploring opportunities to do business in Southeast Michigan. The City of Pontiac has a plethora of opportunities to present to business prospects if properly exploited through a revised Economic Recovery Plan. Environmentally-Sustainable Development: The Economic Recovery Plan will encourage "green" and ,e_co-friendly" developments. Within its borders, the City has two sources that offer significant opportunities for alternative energy businesses. Harnessing the power of the now capped Pontiac Municipal Landfill and recently acquired Wastewater Treatment Facility may present alternative energy companies with the resources necessary to exploit a developing alternative energy technology. In addition, the County has been actively engaged with the RACER Trust, an independent trust tasked with cleaning up and positioning former GM properties for redevelopment. The City of Pontiac has 16 such properties available, five of which have been sold. Economically Distressed and Enderserved Communities: The City of Pootiac has been identified by the Unitef States tment of Labor Office of Recovery for .euto Communities anC Woio_ars as a zl:y disproportionately affected by. the downturn of the automotive industry. It is the desire of the City of Pontiac and the County of Oakland to regenerate and revitalize the city to its fullest potential. Diversification into other Emerging Sectors and industry clusters, as previously identified, will enhance the City's ability to once again become competitive in the global economy. Funding from the EDA coupled with privately funded initiatives currently .underway within the city will add to the momentum required to bring the economic recovery plan to fruition. A.5.. Applicant's Capab iity Briefly describe the applicant's capability to administer, implement, and attract private sector investments to the project. Oakland County employs a unique "executive" form of government that ensures accountability and efficiency in its services and encourages cooperation with its communities to address issues of mutual concern. The County will provide administrative and programmatic oversight and will contract with a consultant/firm for the development of the economic recovery plan. As required, Oakland County will qualify consulting firms through a bid process; consulting firms will be required to submit documentation that demonstrates their related qualifications and experience. Oakland County is one of Michigan's largest employment centers for enaineering and related occupations. AS such, the County has, in recent years, invested a significant amount of technical and professional assistance to its municipalities through various poogramo including Main Street, Emerging Sectors, and Medical Main Street. Moving forward, the County will continue to support municipalities, like Pontiac, by engaging their experienced team of economic developers. These talented individuals are well prepared to assist companies in taking advantage of the $100 million in state incentives offered every year for business attraction and lexpansion projects that ultimateiy create new jobs in Oakland County: Initiatives such as the Michigan Community Revitalization Program, Oakland County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority, Federal Historic Tax Credit Program, Obsolete Property Rehabilitation Act, Michigan Diversification Loan Fund Program, and the Alternative Energy Tax Credits, lust to name a few, will assist in attracting additional private sector investment to the City of Pontiac. Note: Oakland County is not currently suspended, debarred, or otherwise ineligible to receive federal funding.
