will receive priority in scoring.
Primary objectives of this pilot program:
* Advancing our state energy strategy, equity, and policy goals, and expediting delivery of these funds to local governments.
* Capacity-building for the smaller cities and counties that are not eligible for direct federal EECBG funding.
An online Question-and-Answer session will be offered shortly after the applications are opened. The application process will be streamlined and technical assistance with the applications
will be available.
How to Apply
Applications are expected to open the week of February 19, 2024 and close on April 1, 2024. Additional program details will be posted in late January 2024.
Eligibility
Eligible applicants will be smaller cities, counties or tribal governments that did not qualify for direct EECBG allocations <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDYsIn

7nESPSDHaretfMSMSAc/s/451240783/br/236159967617-l> from the federal government. Three types of planning projects that are eligible for this program include:
1. Communities that work with consultants to develop plans and strategies for energy efficiency and conservation. This includes financing, purchasing, and installing energy efficiency,
renewable energy, and zero-emission transportation and associated infrastructure.
2. Energy audits that are conducted on commercial and residential buildings.
3. Public education programs developed to build public awareness and energy-saving actions.
Qualifications
* Applicants must be city or county governments that did not qualify for direct EECBG allocations <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDcsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVyb

0783/br/236159967617-l> from the federal government.
* Eligible applicant cities or counties will contain one or more census tracts designated as Disadvantaged using the DOE’s CEJEST tool. The planning project will include meaningful benefits
for one or more communities.
* Where these tracts are also ranked "highly impacted" on Washington's Environmental Health Disparities Map, they will be given additional priority.
* City or county partnerships, as with one or more non-profits, utilities, or businesses, are welcome.
* Projects will be ranked based on their potential environmental benefits.
Match Funding is not required
The jurisdiction is not expected to contribute any funds of its own. These grants will fund planning activities only and reporting requirements will be minimal. Upon completion of
the proposed planning project, Commerce will work with grantees to suggest applicable funding sources for implementation. Projects must be completed within 18 months of grant contracting.
