Until the eligible applicants are shown a formal application, how can anyone be completely prepared to submit an application immediately? There should be a resonable length of time given to applicants between the time the application is posted and when applications are accepted. There are too many unanswered questions regarding what is and isn't eligible. Who is or isn't eligible? Have the nine counties been reclassified? Contracted services already entered into? Definition of technology inventory?
