The Institute for Public Administration (IPA), a research and public service center in the Joseph R. Biden, Jr. School of Public Policy and Administration, released a new policy brief titled Grant Assistance Program Case Study: Milton Art Crosswalks. Authored by Collin Willard, assistant policy scientist, and Bec Kelleher, public administration fellow and master of public administration 4+1 student, the case study analyzed the Town of Milton's recent success in obtaining grant funding through the AARP Community Challenge. The policy brief outlined replicable project planning, implementation, community engagement, and intergovernmental coordination processes that can be used as models for municipalities throughout Delaware. IPA’s Grant Assistance Program supports local governments that may lack the resources and capacity to compete for large-scale infrastructure funding. The policy brief is available on UDSpace and the GAP webpage.
