The city also said its USDA grant request was unsuccessful.
This is a clear funding and operating decision for 2027, with future facility and tools/equipment work deferred until space is acquired.

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.
