East Central Iowa Priority Climate Action Plan Project Feedback and Submission Form for Cities, Counties, and Organizations

The East Central Iowa Council of Governments is preparing a regional Priority Climate Action Plan for Benton, Iowa, Johnson, Jones, Linn, and Washington counties. A Priority Climate Action Plan includes priority projects for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the region. Projects must be identified in the plan for cities, counties, and other public bodies (28E organizations, special districts, etc.) to apply for a Climate Pollution Reduction Grant Program (CPRG) Implementation Grant. Applications are due April 1, 2024, and projects will be awarded in October 2024.


This form is an opportunity for cities, counties, and organizations to indicate support for project ideas from existing plans and programs in the region and/or propose new project ideas. Since the plan is an eligibility requirement for the CPRG Implementation Grant, the final Priority Climate Action Plan will only include shovel-ready projects that cities, counties, and/or other public bodies are willing to apply for funds to implement as soon as October 2024. Long-term projects may be included in a Comprehensive Climate Action Plan that will be developed starting in summer 2024.


Please complete this form by January 10, 2024. If you have questions, please contact Alicia Presto at 319-289-0058 or alicia.presto@ecicog.org. For more information, please visit our project website at www.talkto.ecicog.org/east-central-iowa-climate-pollution-reduction-grant.
