Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) Program

GVMC Receives $1 Million Planning Grant from U.S. EPA's Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) Program 

With funding from the Inflation Reduction Act through the US EPA’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG), GVMC will develop a Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP). This plan will connect and uplift existing state, regional and local plans, while preparing communities to be competitive for $4.6 billion in implementation grant funding for the policies and programs it identifies. The plan will cover the four-county region of West Michigan, including Ionia, Kent, Montcalm and Ottawa Counties.

Outreach and Engagement 

As part of our planning efforts, GVMC is committed to engaging with the public through a series of public meetings which began in January 2024 and will continue through the planning process. These meetings will provide an opportunity for a wide range of stakeholders and industries to share their feedback, helping shape our region's plan. Meeting dates and locations will be posted on the calendar below, so stay tuned for details on how to get involved.
