Applicants including municipalities, nonprofit organizations, and regional economic development organizations, are all encouraged to apply for these opportunities to fund construction, infrastructure support, and needed projects.

Although the award of the grants is competitive, the application process has been designed to be simple and straightforward. Grant applicants will be awarded funding as determined by a special committee comprised of Vermonters, legislative branch members, and executive branch administrative staff appointed by the Governor. Grants recipients will be awarded in October of 2023.

The deadline to submit applications for the Building Communities Grants is September 10, 2023.
