*Public meeting:*?Climate Pollution Reduction Grant Phase 2 federal funding

Join Commerce and the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency (PSCAA)??*Tuesday, Nov. 14 at 2:30 p.m. *for a virtual meeting to discuss the federal Climate Pollution Reduction Grant Phase 2 funding.

*Background*

The Climate Pollution Reduction Grant [ [link removed] ]?(CPRG) is one of many federal funding opportunities created through the Inflation Reduction Act [ [link removed] ] and runs through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This program provides grants to states, local governments, tribes, and territories to develop and implement plans for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other harmful air pollution.

This program consists of two phases:


* *Phase 1*: $250 million nationally for noncompetitive planning grants. Washington state received a $3 million planning grant on June 30, 2023, which is underway now. The Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) received a $1 million planning grant which is also underway.
* *Phase 2*: $4.6 billion nationally for competitive implementation grants. Washington state is eligible for potentially more than $500 million. Other eligible entities in Washington, including tribes and local governments, are also encouraged to apply.

Virtual meeting information

The CPRG program provides funding to implement deep GHG emission reduction measures that can scale across jurisdictions. Phase 2 of the program focuses on competitive implementation grants for measures that are included in a Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP). PCAP?s are due March 1, 2024, and Phase 2 implementation grant applications are due April 1, 2024.

This meeting will provide an opportunity to learn about GHG reduction measures and to work with others across the state to identify measure priorities. The EPA recommends that applicants develop partnerships and coalitions when applying for Phase 2 funding. This meeting may help identify partners who align with your priorities.

The webinar will be recorded and posted later on the Washington Climate Pollution Reduction Grant Program webpage [ [link removed] ].?
