Atlas Opportunity Score90/100
Funding$2,500,000 Small; $3,250,000 Medium; $4,000,000 Large. Kansas Commerce's current web page states $14 million allocated, while the April 17, 2026 guidelines list $12.75 million in available funding and four expected awards. Match is the remaining project cost after the CDBG award; committed match is required.
DeadlineOctober 16, 2026 at 11:59 PM Central Time for the full application. Only communities with an approved pre-application may submit a full application.
Required next actionPrioritize only Kansas cities and counties with authoritative evidence of an approved Blueprint to Build pre-application. For City of Ottawa, the September 23, 2026 public-hearing packet verifies an active proposed Large-category project and a $4,000,000 CDBG request, but does not prove pre-application approval. Verify Kansas Commerce approval before applicant-specific package production or ORIGINAL outreach; then confirm match, LMI, hearing, PAR/PER, environmental, procurement and submission requirements.
