South Bronx Overall Economic Development Corporation (SoBRO) and project partner Parallel Products of New England, a recycler that focuses on food and beverage waste, proposes to establish the South Bronx Recycling Expansion Program (SBREP). The core of the project focuses on the purchase of two pieces of grinding equipment, one for green plastic bottles and the other for clear plastic bottles to increase both the capacity of Parallel Products of New England’s facility, located in the Port Morris section of the Bronx, and the value of the resulting “PET flakes” because of the separation by different colors of plastic. PET flakes are the end product that Parallel Products of New England sells to manufacturers in need of this plastic resin compound. SBREP proposes to create 24 positions and expand 1 business. |

In addition to selling fresh, local and healthy foods, the FCI Plaza Market grocery store will partner with the Cooking Matters program, which will offer healthy cooking and eating classes.

Impact Services Corporation will use CED funding to renovate an under-developed space that is contiguous to a top performing childcare center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This project will involve building an industrial kitchen and food distribution center that will serve 30 childcare centers in low-income areas of Philadelphia County as well as four classrooms, new offices, and staff training space. The project will create temporary construction jobs and permanent full- time positions in childcare, culinary arts, transportation, management, and janitorial services. In addition to creating jobs and the benefits associated with the renovation of long vacant industrial space, the kitchen facility is expected to positively impact the food insecurity problem in Philadelphia's low-income communities by annually producing and distributing over 2 million meals and over 1 million snacks that meet USDA nutrition standards while serving 4,500 mostly low-income children 260 days a year. The new classroom space will create the ability to serve an additional 60 low-income children in one of Pennsylvania's top-rated child care centers. |

The Northwest Side Community Development Corporation (NWSCDC) will use CED funding to expand a new, emerging green industry company known as Helios Solar Works in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. NWSCDC will assist Helios Solar works with capital equipment purchases and working capital to facilitate its rapid growth as the company expands its production line and establishes additional shifts to meet new orders from solar panel installations in the United States and Europe. Seventy-five percent of the new, full-time assembly line positions created by the project will be provided to low-income workers, who will have access to specialized training, childcare, substance abuse counseling, and life-skills orientation. NWSCDC will work with the YWCA and the Milwaukee Workforce Investment Board to place low-income workers in the new positions. This project will address a number of challenges that entrepreneurs and local residents have faced by replacing the manufacturing jobs that have disappeared from the two major industrial centers in the area, and will continue the positive impact that NWSCDC’s initiatives have had on the community by reducing poverty and crime and increasing employment. |

Project Description |

Northwest Side Community Development Corporation proposes to make a $650,000 low-interest loan to Nature Tech, a new company that will manufacture cellulose insulation, a high performance insulation made primarily from recycled newspapers. Nature Tech’s most recent patent-pending fire-retarding technology results in a process that dramatically reduces the combustibility of insulation material, while the added dust removal component considerably eliminates a major portion of air-borne insulation dust. This new “green” technology focuses on using recycled newsprint, which makes the product more cost-friendly than fiberglass insulation—which has previously predominated in the industry—also making it more attractive to homeowners and installation contractors. The loan will be used for equipment and working capital for the new company that will, in turn, create at least 43 permanent full-time jobs for low income individuals. |
