NATIONAL OBJECTIVE /hich National Objective will this project target? ® Benefits low and moderate income persons (24 CFR 570.208(a)) ❑ Aids in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight (24 CFR 570.208(b)) ❑ Qualifies as a certified urgent need (24 CFR 570.208(c)) ® If the National Objective that principally benefits low and moderate income persons is selected, describe how the activity will address ONE of the subcategories listed below: 1) Area Benefit Activity —Those projects carried out in a neighborhood consisting predominantly of LMI persons and providing services for such persons, yet could be available to other non - income eligible persons in the area. See Appendix 2 map showing LMA areas located within Collier County. This information can be documented by documenting that the area is primarily residential (e.g., zoning map); and that the income characteristics of households in the service area (i.e., Census data) According to the 2010 Census, Immokalee has a population of 24,154, of which nearly 41.2% live below the federal poverty level.. Immokalee's median household income in 2010 was $23,897, versus Florida's median household income of $47,661 and the US median household income of $51,914. The Per Capita Income in Immokalee is $9,948 compared with Florida's Per Capita Income of $26,551 and the US Per Capita Income of $27,334. (Source: 2010 Census Bureau Fact Sheet) In August of 2012, the unemployment rate in Immokalee was 9.6 %, compared to the 9.0% of the state of Florida. Immokalee is an agricultural community that is being affected by the decline in agriculture due in part to external threats such as foreign competition, government regulations, land development, and automation of packing 14 Packet Page -1174- 6/11/2013 16.B.2. facilities. As agriculture decreases, this will create a significant increase in unemployment unless the people are retrained for something else. For the IBDC to be able to train entrepreneurs, we must also be involved in creating jobs. With the decline of agriculture in the Southwest Florida Region, the need in Immokalee is jobs that will not be affected by changes in agriculture, The quickest and most economical way to create jobs is to train existing businesses on how to expand. The expansion will increase businesses' market base, whereby creating a need for more employees. Also, we want to link our trainings to the related areas that will provide the people with the skills needed to procure jobs. For example, with the Food Program, we will provide workshops on food certification. With this certification, an individual can seek employment in nearby restaurants and food related industries. The MDC is committed to implementing programs that lowers the financial and educational costs of expanding or starting a new business for entrepreneurs, particularly with emphasis on moderate and low - income entrepreneurs. 2) Limited Clientele Activity — Those that benefit a specific group of people (rather than all the residents in a particular area) who are, or presumed to be, income eligible. In order to meet the LMI Limited Clientele criteria, the activity must: serve at least 51% LMI, as evidenced by documentation and data concerning beneficiary family size and income; have income eligibility requirements which limit the service to persons meeting the LMI income requirements, as evidenced by the administering agency's procedures, intake /application forms, income limits and other sources of documentation; serve a specific group presumed by HUD to be income- eligible include: abused children, battered persons, elderly persons, handicapped adults, homeless persons, illiterate persons, migrant farm workers and persons living with AIDS; and be of such a nature and in a location that it may be concluded that the activity's clientele are LMI. 3) Income Eligible Housing Activity — These projects add or improve a permanent residential structure wherein, upon completion, income eligible persons will occupy 51 % or more of the housing units. 4) Job Creation or Retention Activity —A project which creates or retains permanent jobs, of which at least ` 51 % are either taken by or available to income eligible persons. ❑ If the National Objective that principally aids in the prevention of elimination of slums or blight is selected, describe how the activity will address ONE of the subcategories listed below: 1) At least 25% of the properties throughout the area exhibit the following: a. Physical deterioration of buildings /improvements; b. Abandonment of properties; e. Chronic high occupancy turnover rates or chronic high vacancy rates in commercial or industrial buildings; d. Significant declines in property values or abnormally low property values relative to other areas in the community; or e. Known or suspected environmental contamination 2) Public improvements throughout the area are in a general state of deterioration. Documentation must be maintained by the grantee on the boundaries of the area and the conditions that qualified the area at the time of its designation. The designation of an area as slum or blighted must be re- determined every 10 years for continued qualifications. ❑ If the National Objective that principally qualifies as a certified urgent need is selected, describe how the activity will address ONE of the subcategories listed below: 15 Packet Page -1175- 6/11/2013 16.B.2.

IMPACT ON COLLIER COUNTY'S PRIORITY NEEDS (Not to exceed one page) In this section, clearly and concisely state how the proposed project will address one (or more) of the County's priority needs (identified on page 3) for benefiting low and moderate income persons, the prevention or elimination of slum or blight or address homelessness. Describe the need for the project using local data and information.

In some instances justification may be in the form of a market analysis of the target population and /or the community. Address whether this project is a duplication of services offered by others in the community. If the project is a duplication, describe how this project will be different from the other programs. This project is in lure with one of the three National Objectives and Collier County's priority needs in that it seeks to help low to moderate income persons or households who earn at or below 80% of the median income. INDEX IMMOKALEE FLORIDA NATIONAL Income per capita $9,948 $27,640 $25,804 Median household income $23,897 $49,534 $52,328 Median household income owner occupied $40,171 $55,981 $63,664 Median household income renter occu pied $23,586 $36,096 $35,685 Median earnings male $16,235 $33,796 $38,921 Median earnings female $14,502 $22,485 $23,115 Unemployment rate 2000 $12.0% 3.8 % 4.0% Unemployment rate (2010) 12.8% 11.4% 9.5% Unemployment rate 2012 n/a 9.9 % 8.3% Poverty Level 11M 39.8% 13.1% 12.3% Census estimates. Furthermore, there are 2,801 individuals currently enrolled in Immokalee in the Women, Infant, and Children Program (WIC). This is 27% of the total enrollment for the Collier County WIC program. Immokalee WIC program has 2,171 clients on Medicaid, 1,323 clients on Food Stamps, and 49 clients on Temporary Cash Assistant program (TCA). The Immokalee Business Development Center (113DC) was created by the Community Redevelopment Agency to address the general problem of a weak economic and business climate in limnokalee, and to address some of the barriers to entry for new and existing businesses. Economic and social conditions are addressed and overcome through a combination of technical assistance, education, training, and business guidance. The project promotes business growth, job creation, proper working environment, economic growth and stimulus for the Immokalee Community. Individuals utilizing public assistance programs can be trained in entrepreneurship or the new business being created or expanded can employ some of these individuals, thus alleviating some of the government's financial burden. There are several organizations such as SCORE, SBDC, and Goodwill that provide assistance to small businesses through workshops, counseling, and training. However, the IBDC is different from these programs in that it is the only program in the community that provides a permanent resource center and creates optimal environmental conditions for growth and development for small businesses. After the workshops and trainings, participants receive follow -up assistance to increase the effectiveness or enhance the success of the business. Recognizing that the other organizations lack this component in their programs, partnerships have been formed with the IBDC to supplement the other programs. 19 Packet Page -1179- 6/11/2013 16.B.2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND GOALS GENERAL DESCRIPTION (Not to exceed two page) ie narrative should include concise and complete description of the project and its beneficiaries including data, where appropriate, service location (may be a physical address, census tract and /or geographic area) for the project, rationale for service location and income range. Project goals and objectives must respond to an identified problem, need and community demand and shall be achievable, measurable, tune - limited and clearly stated. Describe how the project goals and objectives support and further the organizations goals and objectives. Be as descriptive as possible including the targeted population. The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) seeks funding to continue operation of the Immokalee Business Development Center (IBDC) and thus complementing a needed service being provided to the community. According to the 2010 Census, Inunokalee has a population of 24,154, of which nearly 41.2% live below the federal poverty level.. Immokalee's median household income in 2010 was $23,897, versus Florida's median household income of $47,661 and the US median household income of $51,914. The Per Capita Income in Immokalee is $9,948 compared with Florida's Per Capita Income of $26,551 and the US Per Capita Income of $27,334. (Source: 2010 Census Bureau Fact Sheet) The IBDC facilitates the growth and development of businesses in the Immokalee community. This program provides existing and emerging business with technical assistance and an array of business resources at no cost to the participants. The center provides hands -on- management assistance, education, information, technical and vital business support services, networking resources, and financial resources. The IBDC is committed to implementing programs that lowers the financial and educational costs of starting a new business for entrepreneurs, particularly with emphasis on moderate and low- income entrepreneurs. Business owners and potential entrepreneurs are given a one -stop shop for assistance while they go through the most high -risk aspects of starting their business. The IBDC's primary goal is to assist and educate entrepreneurs, enabling them to leave the business development center with the proper tools to be successful and If- sustaining businesses. The CRA identified a unique and proven method to improve the business.and economic climate in Immokalee, which was the creation of the IBDC. The milestones and success stories from the first two years of operation proves that this unique method will be a driving force in changing the economic conditions within the IBDC service area for many years forward. Small business development is occurring and is evidenced by some of the businesses that have received assistance fiorn the IBDC: Cynthia Clinton, the owner of Cynthia's Cleaning Company, enrolled in the program with only one cleaning contract. For eight years she cleaned the Department of Juvenile Justice office in Immokalee. After almost two years in the program, Ms. Clinton has incorporated her business, obtained a business license, is insured and bonded, is Section 3 Certified, and is working towards receiving certification as a Green Certified Business. These two years of training in the IBDC enabled the cleaning company to garner eight (8) new contracts for janitorial services which include County, local not for profits, residential, and private corporations. While hi the program, Ms. Clinton was able to repair her credit to obtain a Microloan to expand her business. She is now the process of hiring several local residents to work for her company. Annette Anderson, the owner of Kids in Motion Academy of the Art, enrolled in the program two years ago wanting to learn more about the administrative part of owning a business and how she can expand. Although Ms. Anderson has been operating a home child care business for over twelve years, she needed to learn business basics. While in the program, Mrs. Anderson incorporated the business, opened a business banking account, attended business related workshops, is working on her Minority Business Enterprise Certification, and is working with Metro Broward on obtaining a small business loan. We are currently helping this business find a bigger facility to expand the daycare business.

The IBDC will continue to provide new and existing small businesses with a one -stop -shop to facilitate growth and development. The IBDC has identified two serious gaps in service. IBDC will expand its program to address these two gaps. First is the identified need for a Junior Entrepreneurs program to develop and engage the creativity of youths. Studies show that the challenging lives of the youths in low income areas encourage independence of spirit, toughness, unselfconsciousness, and a natural ability in salesmanship. The second gap in service is the need for a Food Production and Innovation program, to encourage entrepreneurship to the food and agricultural sector. The IBDC is a permanent resource center in the community that assists individuals who either have general questions on business related topics or individuals who are interested in enrolling in the two year program. Participants in the program ,= expect to continue to receive IBDC assistance for a maximum of two (2) years. Periodic evaluations of businesses ;e conducted and staff is always available to assist. The IBDC have different programs which includes the following: • Educational workshops and training • Entrepreneurial School • Information Technology • Assistance in job creation Education Workshops/Ti ainin One of the biggest costs to entrepreneurs is the expense of attending educational workshops and training essential to build up the skills needed to be successful. The educational component of the program has been successful due in large part to our partners that have helped maintained a network of support to the clients.

Furthermore, the IBDC has partnered with entities to provide various educational and entrepreneurial -based training as in- ind contribution. The IBDC was opened on March 2011 and has been continuously providing technical assistance and business support to the Immokalee community. Currently there are thirteen businesses enrolled in the program looking for assistance in start- up or expansion. Local potential entrepreneurs have frequently contacted the IBDC office seeking information on the program and enrollment. Requested funds will be used to complement the service that we are providing in the community. There are several obstacles such as the lack of available infrastructure for new businesses, education and training, regulatory barriers, lack of available financing for new businesses, and high impact fees that can hinder the outcome of this program. All of these factors are things that can directly impact the success of any business. In the first two years of operation, the IBDC has eliminated some of these obstacles. For example, in partnership with Florida Community Bank and One by One Leadership, we have created a Microenterprise Loan Fund Program to assist business owners who are disadvantage from a conventional credit standpoint and therefore not able to obtain financing through conventional sources. The IBDC is looking into grants that will provide funding to build a structure to not only house the business development center, but that will provide local businesses with lease space. Lastly, the workshops and trainings provided business owners with the education needed to sustain their business. As we continue with the program, we will seek solutions for all other obstacles. 28 Packet Page -1188- V. 6/11/2013 16.B.2.

The CRA has the general resources of Collier County at its disposal, and has appointed well qualified staff to assist them in carrying out the specific tasks of aiding them in the redevelopment of the Immokalee area. Significant support for the project exits from the local Advisory Board of the CRA, which is made up of 8 highly experienced community members.

The Collier County CRA ( Immokalee) has committed long term support of the IBDC and will strive to ensure that the IBDC builds toward becoming economically self - sufficient and has developed a long term plan. On January 22, 2013, the Board of County Commissioners directed that actions be taken to allow the IBDC to become an independent not - for -profit entity. This new status will enable the IBDC to apply for an increased range of grant funding thereby, allowing the agency to increase its positive impact on the Immokalee business community. The plan also includes securing a portfolio of grants (EDA, CDBG, RBEG); build a structure that will be used to house the IBDC and a Regional commercial kitchen. The structure is expected to have adequate space to be leased out to potential businesses. The leasing of the spaces, the fees charge for the hourly use of the commercial kitchen and the fees charged for the workshops /training will allow the IBDC to structure a methodology to procure revenue as well as successful client companies that will pay taxes as well as provide a return to the IBDC for operational and expansion costs. Furthermore, once the IBDC transitions into a not - for - profit entity, there are several organizations and financial institutions that are prepared to assist both financially and through in -kind assistance. This is evidenced in the attached letters of support received from these entities. Packet Page -1190- 9A 6/11/2013 16.B.2.

The IBDC is a vital source of counsel, contacts, training, advice, and support for both starting and growing businesses. The Entrepreneur School is a good example of support and training administered to start-ups. Through your efforts many new businesses were started and even more who were able to expand their operations. The IBDC serves as a link to other economic development partners in the region. Many business people gained access to U.S. Department of Labor resources that may have otherwise been out of their reach. The partnerships with SCORE, SBDC FGCU, iTECH, US SBA, and local banks are just a few examples of the great service you are providing to business people every day. Your future plan to transition into a non - for- profit entity we hope will open up even more opportunities for serving the region's economic development needs for years to come.

It will also allow for the potential development of an educational training program and on -site facility to house small and emerging area businesses For instance, the possibility of a commercial grade certified kitchen would be an excellent opportunity to prepare local products in a facility that meets all food safety and health processing standards. Having a regional food production center will provide individuals with not only a physical facility to operate their business, but also a place to develop their entrepreneurial skills through training locally and via university resources. Local growers /farmers will also have an opportunity to learn how to turn then farm products into value added propositions that can be distributed beyond the borders of Immokalee.

For some time the Immokalee Chamber has been quiet because of low funds due to the economy and a lack of new businesses coming to the area. Marie and her staff at IBDC have produced some new businesses that are now members and we feel that we must support IBDC of their efforts for funding. We at the Chamber truly believe in Marie and how she can manage the IBDC with funding from CDBG and help entrepreneurs of the 21st Century make Immokalee a jewel of Collier County. With the help of IBDC introducing new businesses in the area will not only help the County tax flow but we would save time in our daily lives.
