H-GAC Solid Waste Funding Plan Public Meeting

H-GAC will host a public meeting from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, August 9, at H-GAC Conference Room B, Second Floor, to discuss the FY 2017–18 Solid Waste Management Funding Plan.

Each biennium, regional councils of government across the state (including H-GAC) are required by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to develop and present funding plans for their solid waste grant programs. The purpose of the plan is to provide information on grant funds for the new funding cycle to all eligible entities of implementation project grant funding, interested private industry representatives, and  interested members of the public.

For the 2017–18 biennium, H-GAC will award $1.2 million in implementation project grants to local governments. The request for grant applications will be released Thursday, September 14.
