Under the Agreement, the WEDC agrees to contribute up to $5,000 over a three year period for costs incurred to develop a cloud-based distribution and service channel for a particular product being developed by DOT. DOT is eligible to receive contributions for costs incurred for purposes specified in the Agreement.
