The Town of East Hampton announced this week that it would be issuing the second round of a Request for Applications (RFA) of 2024 to award grant funding up to a total of $1,500,000 for water quality improvement projects. The Water Quality Technical Advisory Committee established this bi-annual process to allow applicants wishing to obtain grant funding for water quality improvement projects to be considered. Through this program the Town is able to fund projects ranging from wastewater treatment improvement to abatement of pollutants from point and non-point sources, and aquatic habitat restoration.
Applications will be accepted starting on May 31, 2024 and will be due at the latest by August 9, 2024 at 4PM. Once the application window closes, all applications received will be reviewed and rated by the Committee and recommendations for grant awards will be presented to the Town Board for funding allocations. The RFA can be found on the Town website on the Natural Resources Department, Clean Water East Hampton page (http://ehamptonny.gov/689/Water-Quality-RFA-Grants) or can be emailed directly upon requests sent to CPFgrant@ehamptonny.gov.
The Town Board of East Hampton is encouraging any eligible organization or property owner interested in improving our water quality and protecting our precious lakes, harbors and ponds to apply for this opportunity to fund their project!
