The Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the Integrated Climate Adaptation and Resiliency Program (ICARP) are pleased to invite public comment on the Adaptation Planning Grant Program (APGP) Draft Round 1 Grant Guidelines for public review from September 28, 2022 to October 28, 2022 at 5:00 p.m. Visit the APGP Webpage to learn more about our approach, including how the APGP will leverage interagency partnerships and $25M in funding to help communities identify climate resilience priorities, address planning needs, and support the development of a pipeline of climate resilient infrastructure projects across the state.
The APGP draft round 1 guidelines incorporate feedback received through public listening sessions, focus groups, and key informant interviews throughout Spring 2022. To learn more about the development of this draft, please refer to the ICARP APGP Engagement Summary. Feedback received by the October 28 deadline will inform a final version of the draft guidelines, which OPR will post on its website in mid-November.
