TED Application Tips

•
Retail is not an eligible business
Businesses should not be overly speculative
Higher private and/or non-TED leverage will score better
More secure leverage will score better
Mature projects with developed planning will score better
Not just interchanges
Must be state trunk highway for Mn/DOT funds, not for DEED funds
For NAICS see www.census.gov/eos/www/naics/index.html
