Gov. Tony Evers and the Wisconsin Department of Administration on Friday announced $1.3 million in grants for 35 Wisconsin coastal communities including many in the New North region
The funds will help protect and improve the state’s Great Lakes resources and build resilience in Wisconsin’s coastal communities.
The 35 grants are administered by DOA’s Wisconsin Coastal Management Program to be used by local, state, and Tribal governments, regional planning commissions, universities and nonprofit organizations. The grants assist with projects that will enhance public access to coastal areas, support Great Lakes educational efforts, or identify and remediate contamination.
A complete list of grant recipients and projects is available here. An interactive story map with details about some past coastal grants is available here.
Applications are now open for the next round of grants from WCMP, with a deadline of Nov. 3. More information about the WCMP and how to apply can be found on DOA’s website.
