* The proposal is well researched and documented with a clear and complete plan for execution.
* The proposal primarily benefits Milford citizens.
* The proposal serves a large percentage of the population.
* The proposal recognizes the cultural diversity of Milford.
* The proposal does not rely totally on MCC funding.
