The panel discussed three hypothetical projects - a commercial park project in a rural town, an industrial road project in a large rural town, and an industrial park project in a bedroom community. For each project, they highlighted key details about the community and project scope, type and source of matching funds, projected economic impacts, status of engineering and environmental reviews, and other relevant considerations that an agency like EDA may examine when evaluating a proposed project. The panel then took questions and noted that every real application would have unique factors to consider.
