The State of Colorado is hosting a series of regional summits to assist local governments in navigating the IIJA, provide information about funding opportunities and how to successfully apply for and administer federal funds.

The Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act (IIJA), also commonly referred to as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), offers Colorado communities many funding opportunities for a wide variety of projects. Matching projects to available funding sources, putting together a successful application, and understanding the administrative obligations that go with federal funding can all feel overwhelming.

This summit is being offered as part of our Region 10 Grants Navigator Program.

Registration for the Region 10 Summit is open here

Agendas for the Region 10 event will be based on our region’s results from the State’s IIJA Regional Summit Survey. If you haven’t done so already, please complete the survey.
