MakingWaves - News From the Division of Water

Special MakingWaves Announcement

MakingWaves is coming to you earlier this week to announce the availability of two water-related grant programs. 

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that $19 million in federal grant funding is available to municipalities through the Consolidated Funding Application for infrastructure projects that protect or improve water quality. This funding is made available through the Green Innovation Grant Program (GIGP) and Engineering Planning Grant (EPG). 

The Environmental Facilities Corporation (EFC) will host a webinar to present the GIGP and EPG programs on January 13, 2021 at 11 a.m. A recording of the webinar will be available on EFC's website after January 13. The webinar will provide an overview of the GIGP and EPG programs as well as guidance on how to apply for grant funds. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions. You may register for the webinar on EFC's website.
