The Florida Department of Community Affairs awarded funds to several Florida Space Coast Clean Cities stakeholders to support AFV projects through its Local Government Alternative Fuel Vehicle Initiative program. The following organizations received funds for projects:

• Florida Institute of Technology - $49,960 for a methanol station and methanol vehicles (a project in partnership with Brevard County).
• City of Melbourne - $10,000 for two neighborhood electric vehicles to help expand its neighborhood watch groups through the city.
• City Gas, Motorfuelers, and Space Coast Clean Cities - $50,000 to support the construction of a CNG station. The new public access station will be located in Titusville, near the Kennedy Space Center, and is expected to be operational on December 1, 1999. Motorfuelers, Inc., a stakeholder in the coalition, will be working on the station construction. The new station will be the first "unstaffed" station in the area--it will rely on software that will bill customers directly.
• Fort Pierce Police Department - $50,000 for five neighborhood electric vehicles to be used as citizen and police patrol vehicles.
• City of Cape Canaveral - $8,994 for a neighborhood electric vehicle for patrol of residential developments, port facilities and areas being used for special events.
• Town of Ponce Inlet- $4,620 for a neighborhood electric vehicle to be used by various departments within the municipality.
