ELIGIBILITY You may qualify if your company has: Seen sales and/or production decline, Been forced to lay off workers or reduce work hours, Lost some domestic sales to imports. NWTAAC will: Prepare the grant application (petition) at no cost to you. If you are approved, NWTAAC works with your company to do a business analysis to identify the best projects for us to help fund.

PROCESS It takes between 4-6 months from starting the application to starting the first project.

ADJUSTMENT PROPOSAL  Develop a customized strategic plan-Adjustment Proposal (AP) Your company's AP will include: an analysis of the competition; review of your company's current status and strategy; and a plan for addressing domestic and import competition, including a description of the projects to be implemented using the federal grant funding. This process includes a cost-share.
