We believe that it satisfies the Grant conditions; containing: the Market Analysis, Value Capture, establishment of a viable TRID Boundary, and the Draft Agreement to effect the TRIO area and program. In addition, it is in conformance with the original Requ est for Proposals, and has been reviewed by the Key Stakeholders working group, and other key agencies having a say on TRID, including SEPTA, the Bucks TMA, the BCRDA, Bucks County, DVRPC, area legislators, and members of the public through their input at various stages. We (Pennoni Asso ciates Inc., and Economic Development Associates) look forward to an opportunity to assist in subsequent phases of implementation of this cha llenging and worthy undertaking for the citizens/residents of Croydon and the Township in a program that ca n induce additional mass transit SEPTA ridership, and tax revenues from future development and red evelopment as revitalization occurs over time. -
