Shoreline planning grants

The Department of Ecology has funds for a competitive grant program for local governments to support shoreline planning and planning-related efforts. Eligible activities include improved implementation of local shoreline planning priorities, permit monitoring and adaptive management, and addressing sea level rise.

You can find information on this funding opportunity on the Shoreline Planners Toolbox website under the “grants” header.

Applications are due by October 14.

Flood control grants

After a 12-year hiatus, the Legislature has restored the flood control assistance grant program.

Eligible projects include comprehensive flood hazard management plans, feasibility studies, match for federal projects, and emergency projects. Ecology’s focus will be on getting grant solicitations to help under-served communities and economically disadvantaged areas.

Applications are due by September 30.
