New Project Funding Info:

The Kitsap PFD will benefit from legislation (EHB1201) passed in mid 2017, that allows New Projects to be funded and built in Kitsap County.

 

The New Project Proposal Funding Process document can be found by clicking on:         New Project.

 

Six New Project teams filed an Official Application form and package of information by the deadline of Dec 31st, 2018.

 

The proposed project must provide significant economic impact as well as benefit to residents and the communities of Kitsap County, in accordance with the four main goals of the Kitsap PFD. They are:

1) Economic Development;
2) Efficient use of public and private monies;
3) Innovation; and
4) Multiple use of facilities.

It must also be greater than $10 million in total value and have matching funds from a public partner no less than one-third of the project value.

 

Evaluation Process:

The New Project teams will go before the KPFD Board again for further evaluation of their projects, based on the four main goals identified above.

Two project teams will discuss their projects, costs and expectations at Board Meetings in February and March.

(The order was determined by a blind draw on January 2nd):

Revised schedule due to weather delay:

   February 25th:   Central Kitsap Event Center
                             Port Gamble Heritage Park

   March 11th         Port Orchard Event Center

                           *Poulsbo Event & Rec Center

   March 25th         Bremerton Pendergast Park
                           *BI Parks Pool Aquatic Center
       (click on the project title to view the Dec 3 presentations)

* Two projects switched dates for their evaluations

The Board will further discuss the six projects during the meetings in April and make the selection of the finalists (two to three projects).

 

The finalists will go before the KPFD on a final round of consideration of all estimated costs, community and economic benefits, contributions to costs from other private & public partners, feasibility studies and details of proposed construction schedules, during meetings in May & June. A schedule will be announced later in 2019.

 

This phase will likely include the consideration of any additional funding to the Port of Bremerton for the construction of the Public/Community facilities embedded in the Circuit of the Northwest multi-use road course as one of the finalists.

 

Final announcement of the funding awards to two or three of the finalists will be announced later. There may be feasibility studies to be performed and heard before that decision can be made. An additional notice will be posted if that occurs.

The PFD has begun a months long submission period for New Projects to be funded in 2019 and beyond. Legislation passed in 2017 gives the Kitsap PFD the ability to sell bonds against future income between 2027 and 2041 that could amount to $15 million or more.

Preference would be given to projects in South Kitsap or on Bainbridge Island. but not limited to those areas of the County. They would have to be sizeable projects, amounting to $10 million or more in scope and value. There would also have to be a match of dollars, land or labor from a public partner equal to a third of the project value.
