NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on September 25, 2013, the Department of Economic Opportunity issued a Final Order Denying Waiver, regarding a petition for waiver and variance from the MetroBroward Economic Development Corporation. It has been assigned the case number 2013-0045.
RULE NUMBER AND NATURE OF RULE FROM WHICH VARIANCE OR WAIVER IS SOUGHT: Chapter 73C-1, Black Business Loan Program, subsection 73C-1.001(6), F.A.C., which defines the annual “application period” as May 1 through June 1 (or the next business day). The applicant sought a variance from the application deadline for 2013-2014 so it can file an application for certification to receive funds to participate in the Black Business Loan Program. The waiver has been denied. Having missed the application deadline in the rule, MetroBroward Economic Development Corporation is not eligible to be considered for recertification under the Black Business Loan Program for Fiscal Year 2013-2014.
