In order to provide our Rural Partners with up-to-date information on funding opportunities, the Rural Center invites you to learn more about the 2014 water and wastewater infrastructure grants that will be administered by the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Water Infrastructure.

These are not Rural Center grants. Rather, these grants are made possible by the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and administered by the state. The Division of Water Infrastructure expects that about $26 million will be available in 2014 for this program. 

This is the first time that these dollars have been allocated in this manner and administered by DENR. Because of the changes to the CDBG program, DENR has amended its annual action plan and made it available for public comment. The document includes information about proposed eligibility and project requirements.

Download the draft action plan.
