This notice concerns economic opportunity requirements related to a project in the City of Kissimmee. The owner must follow Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968. This means providing training and job opportunities to low-income residents in the project area. Contracts for work on the project must be given to businesses located in or owned by people from the project area. This requirement applies to contracts over $100,000. The owner must keep records to show they are following these rules. This item is currently under review by the City Commission. The project will involve various types of construction work, including site preparation, building, and finishing trades. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers who are local to the program service area may have opportunities to compete for work.
