MONTPELIER — In a commitment to improving the quality of state waters, the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) has announced a new grant program to assist municipalities in their stormwater mitigation efforts.
The Municipal Highway and Stormwater Mitigation Program will have almost $6 million available to award. Grants funded through this program must have a transportation link. There is no program cap on the amount of funding granted to a specific project, however, there is a 20 percent local match requirement.
