From the meeting
Staff reviewed a draft outline of a simplified Shawnee Entrepreneurial and Economic Development (SEED) Forgivable Loan Program. The committee discussed scoring criteria, possible administrative approval for de minimis awards, and whether to focus support near 75th Street and Nieman Road. The program is still being shaped, so the next step is final policy drafting and committee review.

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.
