Eligible applicants are invited to request funding for planning, design, and/or construction of Projects. Although the evaluation criteria listed in this FOA will be applied to the Project as a whole, funding requests submitted under this FOA must be based on the expenditures already incurred or planned to be incurred by September 30, 2020.

Under section 4009(c) of the WIIN Act, Projects can only receive funding once enacted appropriations legislation designates funding to them by name. Therefore, financial assistance agreements for projects eligible under section 4009(c) will not be entered into until the project appears in enacted appropriations legislation.
