Organizations seeking USTA Tennis Venue Services Category III grant funding must begin the technical review process prior to construction: starting with an initial review of a 30% design set (equivalent to a 50% Design Development Drawing Set), followed by a 60% construction design set depicting reconciled USTA recommendations from the review process.
They must submit the initial documents at least 6 months before construction begins to allow for a 14-21 day review period. Early submission ensures the project's design team can integrate USTA recommendations into the design plans. Late submissions may still undergo review but they carry a much lower likelihood of approval due to time limitations and the nature of construction design development.
Please note that grant funding is discretionary and not guaranteed. We greatly appreciate a complete and timely submission that helps us expedite the review process and support your project's success.
