For a limited time of two years, or until $40 million in funds runs out, grants will be available for up to 90 percent of planning, design and user charge system development costs for prospective State Revolving Fund (SRF) and Strategic Water Quality Initiatives Fund (SWQIF) applicants. Recipients are limited to $1 million in grant assistance and must proceed to construction with an SRF or SWQIF loan or the grant money must be repaid with interest. For more information about the S2 Grants Program, see the Frequently Asked Questions link below.

As with the revolving fund programs, the S2 Grants Program is a cooperative effort between the Department of Environmental Quality and the Michigan Municipal Bond Authority. Money to establish this program will come from the SWQIF. Legislators believe the grants may help communities better afford an SRF /SWQIF application whose wastewater needs might otherwise go unmet. See below for the legislative statues that created the S2 Grants Program.
