Projects will begin going to the Board for approval in December 2024.
We’re preparing the first group of REAP Grants to go before the Board based on available funds for each COG. If your project is selected, you’ll receive a notice prior to the meeting. REAP Grants are on the consent agenda, so attendance is optional.
We will continue taking projects to the Board for approval each month as the funds become available.
