Luncheon Description
Securing funding for critical infrastructure projects is often a daunting challenge for municipalities, utilities, and local governments. Join us for an insightful luncheon presentation on navigating Colorado’s State Revolving Fund (SRF) and the transformative opportunities presented by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). Representatives from key partner agencies—including the Water Quality Control Division, Colorado Water Resources and Power Development Authority, and the Department of Local Affairs—will provide a comprehensive overview of low-interest loans, grant opportunities, and emerging funding streams to support drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater projects.
Learn about new BIL supplemental funds that target lead service line removal, emerging contaminants like PFAS, and disadvantaged communities. Discover how to maximize principal forgiveness, reduce interest rates through the Green Project Reserve, and leverage design and planning grants to enhance project feasibility.
Whether you’re planning your first SRF application or looking to optimize your existing funding strategy, this session will equip you with practical tools and insights to secure sustainable financing for your community's infrastructure needs.
Presenter: Sean Oliver, CDPHE
