Monroe County Mini Grants
|
The Soil & Water Conservation District is once again pleased to offer residents of Monroe County the opportunity to apply for a Mini Grant that pertains to soil, water and/or natural resource concerns on their property located inside Monroe County.
These grants are made possible through a partnership with the Monroe County Stormwater Utility Board and are designed to provide conservation funding opportunities for Monroe County residents. The Mini Grant program includes funds for rain garden installation--as advertised at the Stormwater Utility Rain Garden Certification Workshop. No project is too big or small for this grant. All accepted projects will be chosen based on a local ranking system and will be subject to the sole decision of the Soil & Water Conservation District Board of Supervisors. Selected projects will be cost-shared on a 25%-75% split. Landowners are responsible for covering 25% of total project costs; the Soil & Water Conservation District will provide financial assistance for 75% of total costs - up to a maximum total cost of $2000 per project. Funds are limited, and grants are competitive. Contact the SWCD directly for further information. |

What: This cost share will assist with projects focused on non-native invasive plant species removal and native planting projects in Monroe, Brown, Greene, and Owen counties.
Who: Any landowner or entity in the participating four counties is eligible. How: 1. Initial Contact & Site Visit: Contact your local SWCD office to discuss your project and setup a site visit. A site visit must be coordinated with your local SWCD OR MC-IRIS (Monroe County-Identify and Reduce Invasive Species) before moving forward with any project. 2. Application: After conducting a site visit and developing a Landowner Invasive Plant Assessment with SWCD or MC-IRIS staff, submit a CWI application to your local SWCD office (see application link below). 3. Final Inspection: Upon completion of the project, SWCD staff will conduct a final site visit to check for project completeness. 4. Reimbursement: Following the final inspection, all receipts must be turned in to the SWCD office. Reimbursements will cover up to 75% of total costs, not to exceed the per acre rate for invasive species removal and $500 total for native planting. Moving Forward: Click on the link for a CWI Local Application. Contact your county SWCD directly for more information. |
Applications will be accepted year-round and will be ranked and approved by SWCD staff and Board of Supervisors on a quarterly basis each year of CWI funding (2017-2019).
