RFP - Municipal Infrastructure Grant Program - Municipal Matching Funds Pool

PROPOSALS SOUGHT FOR: Matching funds for use by municipalities or municipal agencies in applying for Federal funds under the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (“IIJA”).  The IIJA funds must be used for projects to make improvements to public infrastructure in compliance with the IIJA grant(s) sought by the applicant(s).

OVERVIEW:  The Bank in collaboration with the Office of Governor Daniel J. McKee and the General Assembly have created the Municipal Matching Funds Pool through the Municipal Infrastructure Grant Program (“MIGP”). The purpose of this program is to help local governments with the matching fund requirements when applying directly to the federal government for grant funding under the IIJA.  MIGP is a competitive grant program providing capital funds for municipalities, and other public entities, to make improvements to public infrastructure. The overall goal is to support projects that are permissible under the awarded IIJA grant and can achieve economic development and growth by accelerating housing production, spurring private development, and creating jobs across Rhode Island.
