The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, & Energy (EGLE) Catalyst Communities Initiative has been providing services to help Michigan local and tribal governments navigate federal funding opportunities available through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act. These resources include a monthly newsletter, a website listing resources and sustainability-focused federal funding opportunities, and free one-on-one technical assistance.
To help inform its efforts, EGLE is currently conducting a survey (for Michigan community respondents only) to help the agency evaluate federal funding technical assistance work and improve the ways it is supporting communities.
