You are invited to attend Agency Site Visits. This is your opportunity to learn more about the agencies that are currently funded through the Agency Review funding process.
TCC staff schedules these site visits on a rotating basis once every three years for each program. The purpose is to strengthen our partnership and to track the use of municipal funds, assuring that each particular grantee is in compliance with the goals and objectives of each grant.
You will be offered the opportunity to ask questions and to provide feedback to staff after the visit.
