AFID Infrastructure Grant Program
This program provides funding to local governments for projects that enhance community infrastructure and promote local food production and sustainable agriculture.
Description
The AFID Infrastructure Grant Program provides grants of up to $50,000 per grant to political subdivisions for community infrastructure development projects that support local food production and sustainable agriculture. The grants are awarded competitively, paid out as reimbursements, and require matching funds. Applications will be accepted and awards made through semi-annual funding rounds. Eligible applicants include political subdivisions of the Commonwealth, typically Counties and Cities, but also Towns, Industrial and Economic Development Authorities, or Planning District Commissions. Applications may be made on behalf of more than one locality, provided each applicant contributes matching funds and a single political subdivision serves as the lead applicant and grant administrator.
