Interested in learning more about funding and financing for municipal infrastructure in your town or village? Come meet representatives from funding agencies like the USDA, DEC, DOH, DOS and EFC and learn about numerous existing and new funding opportunities for safe water (drinking water), clean water (wastewater), road-related projects, and other community investments. Find out how their programs can help make your municipal infrastructure more resilient and adaptable and take the opportunity to sit down with them individually to discuss your current projects and funding needs.
