Gov. Evers Launches New $50 Million Non-State Grant Program Supporting Statewide Community Development
New program created through biennial budget devoted to community development and infrastructure improvement
MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers today launched the new Non-State Grant Program to support local infrastructure improvement and community development projects in communities across the state. This program was established as part of the 2023-25 biennial budget, 2023 Wisconsin Act 19, with a $50 million allocation of state funding to support economic and community development, bolster Wisconsin’s infrastructure, and improve the overall quality of life in the state. The Non-State Grant Program will serve as a catalyst for community development, empowering local organizations to undertake construction projects that have a profound public purpose.
“Investments through the Non-State Grant Program will help support local jobs and workers, bolster local tourism and economies, and improve the quality of life for folks in every corner of Wisconsin,” said Gov. Evers. “A critical part of our administration’s work has been ensuring our infrastructure, workforce, and economy are prepared to meet the needs of the 21st Century, and that includes investing in critical improvements and development at the local level that we know will have a long-term impact on our communities and our state.
“Along with the five new building projects we announced last week, this initiative marks a significant stride in our efforts to build strong, resilient communities here in Wisconsin. I encourage local partners to take advantage of this new opportunity,” Gov. Evers concluded.
Additional information about the Non-State Grant Program, including guidelines and application procedures, is available here.
