From the meeting
Administration reported that Saluda will apply for the NC Main Street Program Downtown Associate Communities Program for spring 2027. The city is a new applicant, so the decision is still in the planning and application stage. This creates a clear pre-award grant opportunity around downtown revitalization support and application preparation.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Saluda's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
