Please refer to the “Funding Priority Guidelines” for additional information relating to the use of funds.

Applicant/Organization Background Describe the applicant/organization history and mission: iNeighborhoods builds Smart Cities for the digital age, one neighborhood at a time. iNeighborhoods offers a comprehensive community engagement and digital ecosystem planning process that greatly simplifies the development of Smart Cities. Moreover, iNeighborhoods creates inclusive socio- economic opportunity and wealth for participating digital neighborhoods, thereby accelerating economic development for participating neighborhoods, or city-university pairs, sooner. Beginning with the Kansas City Google Fiber initiative, and continuing over a six-year period with other engagements in the USA and Canada, iNeighborhoods gained meaningful experiences and expertise that has been successfully incorporated into a cost effective, and easy-to-implement digital ecosystem package of the essential elements required to plan for, build, operate and sustain a Smart City on a small organic scale; an iNeighborhood. Recently, the US and European markets have begun endorsing the iNeighborhoods model. In a recent IEEE Smart Cities webinar, Burns McDonnell fully endorsed iNeighborhoods’ Innovation Neighborhood model as the most promising and cost effective way to initiate building Smart Cities. Moreover, recommended that the iNeighborhoods model be adopted by cities and the North American Utility Industry. Furthermore, the City of Newark, New Jersey and the New Jersey Innovation Institute have prepared an MOU to adopt the iNeighborhoods program including 5G, small cell and public Wi-Fi on a city-wide basis. Describe the applicant/organization programs and activities: Our organizations programs and activities fall into three main categories; iNeighborhoods – 6900 Delmar Blvd – Saint Louis, Missouri 63130 INEIGHBORHOODS LLC a) Developing and executing community engagement, ecosystem, education and business planning processes which will accelerate the understanding and adoption of Smart City, high-speed data infrastructure and renewable energy systems.

This activity is performed primarily by iNeighborhoods. b) Assessing, designing and building advanced Wi-Fi and fiber optic networks and applications which accelerate community, business, education, economic impact and community revenue flows. We call this process Force Multiplier. This activity is performed primarily by our partner Elite Fiber. c). Assessing, designing and building advanced block chain and renewable energy data systems which provide access to renewable energy for residents and businesses and improve community, business, economic impact and community revenue flows.
