If my project is approved for Section 319(h) Grant Program funds when can I expect to execute the contract and begin my project?
In recent years, grant funds have become available in the late spring or summer following the August 1st deadline. However, Section 319(h) Grant Program funds will not become available to the applicant, or its subcontractor(s), until a financial assistance agreement is developed by the Illinois EPA, signed by both the grant recipient and the Illinois EPA, and filed with the Illinois State Comptroller. The Section 319(h) Grant Program is a reimbursement program. The grant recipient must provide documentation of eligible incurred costs (including required match) to Illinois EPA before the State of Illinois will reimburse the recipient for those expenditures.
