From the meeting
The board will discuss and approve applying for several grants. The agenda does not name the programs or amounts, but it shows the Economic Development Corporation is actively pursuing outside funding. That can lead to funded projects or consultant support once the applications move forward.
The next decision point is the September 24, 2026 board meeting.

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 Ames's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
