EGLE Federal Funding Technical Assistance Survey

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy's (EGLE) Catalyst Communities Initiative has been providing services to help Michigan local and tribal governments navigate federal funding opportunities available through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act. These resources include a monthly newsletter, a website listing resources and sustainability-focused federal funding opportunities, and free one-on-one technical assistance.
