These small grants are not intended to fund a long-range plan or
project in its entirety, but must support local implementation of
state policies, with a focus on creating more resilient
communities through climate adaptation and mitigation.
According to the SGC, the Sustainable Communities Planning Grant
and Incentives Program: Best Practices Pilot is an effort to
support local land use planning related to climate and the
State’s statutory planning priorities. The grants are intended to
support the development and/or implementation of a specific
portion of a land use plan, land protection or management
practice, or development project, that targets sustainable
development and the State’s climate policies with the express
intent of 1) implementation of that project or plan; and 2)
identification of a best practice and creation of a Case Study to
share amongst land use planning and policy peers.
SGC extended the original deadline for proposals to February
9th. For application questions or concerns, please contact
