The Port of Seattle has authorized a 2nd round of grant funding for an Economic Development Partnership Program. More than $962,000 is available to cities in King County as 2 to 1 matching funds. The grant funds are available on a $1.00 per capita ratio with a maximum of $65,000.00. As part of the program Cities receiving funding from the Port of Seattle are required to match $0.50 on the dollar of Port grant monies, equating to $32,500.00 for the City of Auburn.
The City of Auburn participated in the first round of the partnership program last year where among other things the City established and opened up a Business Incubator located in the Auburn Transit Station.
