Dear Mr. Wolfe,
Habitat for Humanity of Key West and Lower Florida Keys, Inc. desires to submit a proposal to
the Office of Tourism, Trade and Economic Development to become a sponsor for the
Community Contribution Tax Credit Program. The program provides an incentive ( 5D% tax
credit plus federal tax credit) to encourage donations toward community development and low
income housing projects.
The program application requires a resolution from our local gavernment (where the project is
located) stating that the project is consistent with local plans and regulations (including
comprehensive plans). I have asked George Neugent to sponsor the resolution once you have
reviewed it. A brief description of the project is attached. Should you have any questions, please
do not hesitate to call me at 872-4456.
We look forward to your assistance in supporting this request so that we can move forward to
obtain necessary funding for our building project.
In gratitude,
~d,~~~~
