In an effort to coordinate drought, conservation, flooding and water infrastructure through its Water Central Texas initiative, CAPCOG compiled the following grant opportunities and a list of state and federal organizations that supply funding opportunities on the topics throughout the year.
Texas Water Development Board
The TWDB offers a variety of cost-effective loan and grant programs that provide for the planning, acquisition, design, and construction of water related infrastructure and other water quality improvements totaling about $27.8 billion.
State Water Implementation Fund for Texas (SWIFT)
Affordable, ongoing financial assistance for projects in the state water plan. The SWIFT program helps communities develop and optimize water supplies at cost-effective rates. The program provides low-interest loans, extended repayment terms, deferral of loan repayments, and incremental repurchase terms for projects with state ownership aspects.
