Description
The Seismic Rehabilitation Grant Program (SRGP), managed by Business Oregon, is a competitive state grant supporting the seismic strengthening of critical public buildings in Oregon. The program focuses on public K-12 schools, community colleges, education service districts, and first responder emergency service buildings (including hospitals, fire stations, police stations, sheriff's offices, 9-1-1 centers, and emergency operations centers). The grants fund structural and non-structural improvements, architecture and engineering services, and project management to ensure these essential facilities are better prepared for earthquakes.
