The Green Infrastructure Fund supports environmental infrastructure projects that promote reduced greenhouse gas emissions, cleaner air, cleaner water and cleaner land. There are five eligible categories of investment: wastewater infrastructure, green energy generation infrastructure, green energy transmission infrastructure, solid waste infrastructure, and carbon transmission and storage infrastructure. By providing up to 50 percent federal funding on a cost-shared basis, the fun leverages additional investments from other partners.
The Green Infrastructure Fund started in 2009-2010 and is schedule to end in 2021-2022.
