The North Olympic Peninsula Recompete Plan, led by Clallam County, will receive approximately $35 million to revitalize the natural resources industries in the North Olympic Peninsula. Our region has faced a lack of job opportunities since the decline of the logging industry. To drive renewed economic competitiveness and job creation in the sustainable maritime and natural resource sectors, the coalition will enhance supply chain infrastructure, scale innovative forest product manufacturing, and support workers in tribal and distressed communities through various economic development initiatives. EDA funding will be used for cutting-edge manufacturing equipment, a marine transportation fleet, and accessible workforce training. The coalition’s Recompete Task Force, made up of Tribal and county governments, local community and technical colleges, and economic development partners, is poised to create and connect residents to good jobs in the natural resources industry. The Clallam County EDC Board hired consultants for nearly $80 thousand dollars to provide management and research for the coalition. Without this investment, the $35 million dollar award could not have come to fruition. Huge thanks to Congressman Derek Kilmer for envisioning the program, spearheading it through Congress and then advocating for our application! <https://files.constantcontact.com/b1411fa5701/a397f4a4-cf52-448c-a20b-cf7d3d65daad.png?rdr=true> <https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/1101116784221/S.gif> <https://files.constantcontact.com/b1411fa5701/2f407a73-2571-4896-96f7-58c10194dd39.png?rdr=true> <https://files.constantcontact.com/b1411fa5701/79037d72-ba61-455c-bd56-4b0e8b420261.png?rdr=true> New state rebate program brings cost to lease some new EVs to less than $200 a month for lower-income drivers The Washington State Department of Commerce launched its new Electric Vehicle (EV) Instant Rebate Program. The program will provide up to $9,000 off a new EV lease for low-income drivers at point-of-sale, bringing lease payments under $200 a month on several popular electric models at current pricing – well below the average gas-powered car payment of more than $700 per month. Washington is the first state to prioritize low-cost leases as part of an EV incentive program. Under the new program, Washington residents earning up to 300% of the federal poverty level – $45,180 annually for a single person, or $93,600 for family of four – are eligible to receive $9,000 for a new EV lease of three years or more, or $5,000 for new EV purchases or two-year leases. Used EVs are also eligible for a $2,500 rebate on both purchases and leases.

It buys all types of products and services — in both large and small quantities — and it’s required by law to consider buying from small businesses. The government wants to buy from small businesses for several reasons, including: * To ensure that large businesses don’t “muscle out” small businesses * To gain access to the new ideas that small businesses provide * To support small businesses as engines of economic development and job creation * To offer opportunities to disadvantaged socio-economic groups SBA's Contracting Guide will help you learn the basic requirements, types of contracts, and how to evaluate your small business to see if it has what it takes to win a government contract.
