National State Revolving Fund (SRF) Infrastructure Financing and Training Workshop
Registration is officially open! Agenda is coming soon!
General Information
The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for EPA, state SRF programs, technical assistance providers, and other interested stakeholders such as communities to collaborate and educate each other by:
- Sharing innovative approaches and best management practices to finance water and wastewater infrastructure through training and technical assistance, particularly for our smaller systems;
- Increasing awareness of initiatives and new developments in the SRFs that focus on topics such as co-funding projects, accessing planning costs, eligible projects that improve both public and environmental health (e.g. infrastructure resiliency, stormwater management, green infrastructure, and estuary improvements); and
- Providing opportunities to connect through peer-to-peer development and networking with our partner organizations.
