Construction funding is a huge issue for most civil and transportation projects. It is increasingly difficult to find a single source of funds to finance large projects. Funding “partnerships” are becoming extremely popular at all levels of government to make expensive projects happen.
WGM Group is extremely knowledgeable with various funding sources, their requirements, and how to get commitments. Our team members have assisted local governments in finding funding for many projects. We are experienced with joint-funding and the use of the Uniform Application for Montana Public Facility Projects, including the writing of Preliminary Engineering Reports (PER).
Potential funding sources include:
USDA/Rural Development
HUD-Development Block Grants
National Highway System (NHS)
Economic Development Administration
DNRC Renewable Resource Grant/Loan (RRGL)
Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)
DEQ State Revolving Fund (SRF)
DEQ Drinking Water SRF (DWSRF)
DOC Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
INTERCAP
Treasure State Endowment Program (TSEP)
Surface Transportation Program (STP)
