By the end of the month, details on 18 Downtown Revitalization Initiative projects selected as finalists by the Auburn Local Planning Committee will be handed over to the state. State officials will then review each project's plan before the list is trimmed one last time.
Over the course of months, a preliminary list of 29 projects that requested a collective $21.7 million in state funding was reduced by the LPC. Together, the 18 projects that made it this far are requesting $13.5 million in DRI funds. It will be up to the state to further shrink the total requested funds to fit the $10 million budget that Auburn was awarded by the governor.
