10/27/09: Reminder - Brownfield Site Assessment Grant Applications Due November 9
The 11th round of Brownfield Site Assessment Grants (SAG) is now open for applications. Funding is available for small grants ($2,000 up to $30,000) and large grants ($30,000 up to $100,000). Up to $1.5 million has been budgeted for SAGs in Fiscal Year 2010 (July 1, 2009-June 30, 2010) – the final amount, however, will depend on incoming state revenue and may be less than $1.5 million. Applications for both large and small grants are due November 9, 2009.
