The Washington State Department of Commerce is kicking off a new grant program to help communities at higher risk from environmental harm. The goal of the grant is to foster greater participation in local policy decision-making by helping overburdened communities and vulnerable populations to participate more in local comprehensive plan and development regulation updates under the Growth Management Act. Community-based organizations are eligible applicants for the grant funding. Please sign-up for this list if you are interested in receiving updates about this grant program.
