261—27.4 (15) Allocation of funding. IDED will allocate the available federal funding between the large entitlement communities and the smaller non-entitlement communities based on measurable statistics relating to the three factors required by federal law relating to the determination of need as described in 27.3(1). After that division of funding has been determined, IDED will determine an amount to be allocated to each of the entitlement communities based upon the need factors for each of the respective communities. If allocation results in an amount of funding to a community or communities that is too small to result in an effective program, IDED may reallocate those funds to the other entitlement communities according to the percentages calculated based on the need factors. The funding available to the smaller non-entitlement communities will be distributed on a competitive basis, upon receipt and review of applications from each community. The maximum award to a non-entitlement community will be $1 million.
