Projects ranked among the highest in the plan covetr a wide range of proposalsincludingb high-speed rail construction, extendiny the BART line to San Jose and boring anothere roadway in the East Bay’s Caldecott Together, the highest-priority projects are seeking more than $7 billion in stimuluw money. The priority list also includes a new stem cell researcu facility at the inMarin County, energty efficiency and solar retrofits of public and other buildings in San San Francisco and Oakland; energy conversions to LED transit-oriented development projects and workforce training and placemengt for laid-off employees.
“This plan is designed to maximizseour region’s share of federal stimulus funding and otherd state support that will benefit the Bay Area in both the near and said Sean Randolph, CEO of the , which was chargedc with compiling the list. The top 85 projects were classifiedas “strategic” prioritiese for the Bay Area. Another 72 projects were considereed “significant” but given a slightly lower rankin because they did not have the scals or regional impact of the most highly ranked Those projects include things like a desalination project in the Montara Water andSanitarh District, building a clean technology demonstration manufacturing center in San Jose and outfittiny Burlingame city buildings with solar panels.
The which can be found online at was the culmination ofa three-month vettinv process. The report was sent to the . That state which requested that other metropolitah regions around the state submit similar plans, will now take all those planzs and help coordinate with citiesw and counties to lobby the federal governmengt on behalf of certain projects. “This is to get people on the same page to minimize the food fighty where you have parts of the state compete againstone another,” said Dale Bonner, head of the Californiaw Business Transportation and Housing Agency.
“What we’re doingf is acting as a facilitatoer to help identifythe best” The list’s authors said they hoped that ranking projectsd would help the region get more stimulus “The Bay Area is the only region in California that actuallh attempted to prioritize,” Randolph said. “We think that’s important. We thinj that will make us more successfulp ingetting attention, in getting thosd resources for those very high value projects.” Projects on the Economi Institute’s wish list could be in for a big payoff. Abouyt $30 billion in federal stimulus money will be divviex up in Sacramento before going to various regionsaround California.
Another $20 billion is expected to be distributes directly in the state by federapl officials on adiscretionary basis. The chance to get dollarx from the federal stimulus program led to a flurry of Bay Area authorities sifted through almost570 suggestions. To make the cut, projecta were supposed to spur job have regional impact and align with statr programsand priorities, among other criteria. The Economic Institute called upon loca experts in specific fields to judge proposals that fit at least one ofseve categories: transportation, water, energy/climate, workforce trainin g and education, business development, sciencw and innovation or housing.
The vast majority of projectsa that made it to theEconomic Institute’ s short list were from government A range of companies sought federal stimulus, too, sayin that their service would help boost the broadee economy. For example, a Berkeley-based firm calleed Picture it Sold sought stimulus money to franchiseits home-staging “We’re ready to move ahead with this plan immediately,” the company wrote in its proposal, “and we’lol help thousands of families and the wholes economy to recover.” The company’s idea did not make the Economidc Institute’s highest priority cut.
But an appendicx to the Economic Institute’s wish list includea every proposalit received.
