Grant Assistance Programs through TDEC

The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation has posted information about grant assistance programs available through that agency.  These grants relate to alternative energy, energy conservation, healthy watersheds, local parks and recreation, trail development, recreation initiatives, recycling equipment, waste tire recycling and clean-up, used old recycling, brownfield assessment and clean-up, historic preservation and more.  There is an on-line document available through the state's website that provides simple summaries of the grants, overviews of the eligible projects and applications and information about deadlines all in one place.  This information can be accessed at: http://www.tn.gov/environment/grants/docs/tdec_grant_program_summary.pdf

Your community may be able to benefit from one of these programs.  I encourage you to take a look at the available opportunities and consider whether your county should pursue one of these grants.
