Handbook Updated

The 2005 edition of the Delaware State Assistance Handbook for Local Governments is being updated and soon will be available on the Institute for Public Administration’s (IPA) website (www.ipa.udel.edu/resources/government.html).

First issued by the Office of State Planning Coordination (OSPC) in 1995, this handbook is an excellent resource for local governments that are seeking funding assistance in the form of grants, loans, technical assistance, and advisory services. The 2005 edition will contain information on sources of funding programs such as:

	Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) Transportation Enhancement Program
	Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) programs for parks, land conservation, and water resources
	State Homeland Security Program grant
	U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development programs
	Brownfields grant and loan programs

IPA graduate assistant Garrett Wozniak and IPA local government specialist Marcia Scott prepared the 2005 edition, with editing and technical assistance from IPA policy specialist Mark Deshon.
