Letter of Intent (submissions closed)
Municipalities applying for a construction grant must have created an account in the Amplifund grant management system and submitted a letter of intent by 4:00 pm on April 28, 2023. Submitting a letter of intent does not obligate the municipality to apply, but a valid letter of intent on file is required for a municipality to apply for the construction grant round.
