From the meeting
The council discussed first reading of a resolution approving Athens Economic Development Corporation business assistance grant guidelines and authorizing $100,000 for Fiscal Year 2027. This is a funding framework, not a vendor award. It signals a defined pool of money and a likely future application or award process.

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.
When will City of Athens issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Athens's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with City of Athens before the RFP is published?
