The Department of Environmental Protection has expanded its Small Business Advantage Grant Program to assist agricultural businesses install natural resource conservation projects.
Projects that prevent soil erosion or decrease sediment/nutrient runoff into nearby streams will be eligible for funding for the first time.
$1,000,000 is available for all projects. The maximum grant award for natural-resource protection projects is $9,500. The grants match up to 50 percent of the equipment/material costs. Eligible applications are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis until all funds are used.
The application period should be opening soon.
