About The Position

DDC's Law Division oversees all the legal and procedural requirements of this City program. After each funding recipient completes all legally required procedures and submissions, DDC Law then administers the payment of funds on a reimbursement basis. The selected candidate’s role is to facilitate NRP discretionary funded projects.
