The Chelsea Center for Recycling and Economic Development is seeking proposals from Massachusetts cities, towns and nonprofits to develop model recycling-based economic development programs. "The process entails using materials from the waste stream as feedstocks for industries instead of new or virgin materials," notes the RFP. This solicitation focuses on the manufacturing end of the recycling process. The project will entail a collaborative effort among the Chelsea Center, community development corporations, local community development agencies and local environmental/recycling programs. Eligible projects include infrastructure development, assessing local inputs and outputs and financial/technical incentives. Funds are not to exceed $25,000/project. Proposals are due by May 4, 1999. Contact the Chelsea Center for Recycling and Economic Development, 180 Second St., Chelsea, MA 02150; (617) 884-4376 or send an email to amyperl@chelseacenter.org.
