Funding available for projects that reduce air pollution in Placer County
Auburn, Calif.- The Placer County Air Pollution Control District (District) is accepting applications for its annual Clean Air Grant Program for projects that reduce localized air pollution.
The District’s Clean Air Grant (CAG) Program provides monetary grants to private companies and public agencies to clean up their heavy-duty engines beyond that which is required by law or regulation through repowering, replacing, or retrofitting their engines, vehicles, or equipment. Grants may also fund infrastructure projects to support California’s transformation toward zero and near-zero emission technologies. A portion of Clean Air Grant Program funds is reserved for projects located within or benefitting low-income communities.
