Notice of Public Comment Period Extension for the Eligibility Guidelines for Coastal Rehabilitation and Resilience Projects Program through the Clean Water, Clean Air and Green Jobs Environmental Bond Act of 2022

The New York State Department of State (NYS DOS) is extending the public comment period for the Eligibility Guidelines for the Coastal Rehabilitation and Resilience Projects Program through the Clean Water, Clean Air and Green Jobs Environmental Bond Act of 2022.

NYS DOS will provide Bond Act funding from the Clean Water, Clean Air and Green Jobs Environmental Bond Act of 2022 (Bond Act) to implement coastal rehabilitation and resilience projects within the New York State Coastal area and the Coastal Nonpoint Source boundary. Priority will be given to projects that support or are inspired by nature or natural processes and also offer environmental, economic, and social benefits while increasing resilience.

Resilience projects can include goals such as habitat/restoration resilience, climate resilience/risk reduction, as well as direct stormwater management which includes both green and natural infrastructure.
