Description
The Public Infrastructure Grant Program, administered by the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD), provides gap funding for essential local infrastructure projects that are part of broader community development strategies. The program targets activities such as construction, acquisition, reconstruction, installation, and relocation assistance related to public infrastructure. It also funds projects supporting the construction of fully-funded affordable housing for low- and moderate-income (LMI) residents and essential planning activities needed for project advancement. The intent is to catalyze future public and private investments in Maine communities.
