$4.6 Billion Available For Local Governments And Tribes Under Climate Pollution Reduction Grant Program

Earlier this fall, the EPA announced two competitions as part of the $5 billion Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) program, which aims to provide grants to states, local governments, tribes, and territories to develop and implement greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction plans and projects. In addition to $250 million in planning grants awarded to states and certain large metro areas earlier this year in Phase I, $4.6 billion is available for competitive implementation grants under Phase II (Phase II grants). The Phase II grants are split into two competitions: (1) a general competition for states, municipalities, air pollution control agencies, tribes, territories, and departments, agencies, and instrumentalities of the same; and (2) a separate competition for tribes, tribal consortia, and territories only.
