$100 million grant award announced

Climate Pollution Reduction Grant Award Announcement

On Monday, July 22, 2024, the EPA announced that the Tri-Region Arkansas CPRG Coalition has been selected for a $99,999,999 Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) award for its “Energy and Environment Innovation for the Natural State” proposal. This transformative grant will fund projects throughout Central Arkansas, Northwest Arkansas, and the Arkansas River Valley, representing half the Natural State’s population. Metroplan served as the lead agency on the grant submittal, one of only 25 funded nationally.

Central Arkansas’ $49.25 million allocation will fund projects to sequester and reduce emissions by protecting and restoring natural areas, increasing efficiency, and improving access to active transportation and transit. Projects such as LED streetlights and EV charging will reduce emissions from the transportation sector, and building efficiency funding will support net-zero technologies for public and commercial buildings. Projects will be designed to ensure equitable access to the environmental benefits funded by the grant.
