A list of projects funded in FY2019 is available to view at: http://www.tib.wa.gov/dashboard/modules/projectselections/
Further adjustments may be made before the final staff recommendation to the Board in November. This will be based on current grant expenditures, updated revenue forecasts, and a better picture of revenue during the "stay home" orders due to COVID-19.
During the call for projects, TIB engineering staff conduct funding program workshops at various locations throughout the state. The TIB funding workshops provide information about: (1) Funding programs; (2) Scoring criteria for each program; and (3) Application process. Workshops are intended to increase the probability of a successful project application. For more information on workshops or to register, see the TIB Training Page at: http://www.tib.wa.gov/services/Training/Training.cfm.
Eligible applicants are Washington counties with urban unincorporated areas and cities with a population of 5,000 or greater.
Applications are to be submitted by August 14, 2020. A similar deadline is anticipated annually.
