Under this solicitation, identified as number 75116, grantees are required to cover 20 percent of the total project cost. Interested parties must submit their applications by the deadline of October 9, 2026. The program is managed by the state of Vermont to ensure compliance with environmental standards and the effective management of stormwater infrastructure across the region.
