The PA Infrastructure Investment Authority will kick off a series of local, in-person and online educational events around the state to share information and answer questions about drinking water, wastewater, nutrient pollution reduction, stormwater management and other water infrastructure funding opportunities.

Many new funding opportunities are available because of the historic federal investments being made in water infrastructure.

Often potential applicants have questions like "Am I eligible?", "What types of projects are eligible?", and "How much funding is available?"

Participants in these events will learn--

-- How can PennVEST help?

-- What are the funding sources?

-- Why PennVEST financing?

-- How do I apply for financing?

-- Who can I contact for help?

-- Where do I find PennVEST resources?

-- How do I stay informed of new information?
