Fiscal Impact Statement: Funding to support the positions will come out of the Smart Spaces Grant's approved budget. The term of the grant is from October 1, 2017 to September 30, 2022.

Upon termination of the grant, the position may be eliminated or repurposed based on program continuation, subject to board approval.
