Public Works Board – FY27 Construction Grants
From WA Department of Commerce
During the FY27 funding cycle, the Public Works Board will award up to $202 million for qualifying construction projects, $20 million for qualifying pre-construction/planning projects, and $7.5 million for qualifying emergency projects. The Construction funding program focuses on the activities that repair, replace, or create a facility or asset in an eligible system. A construction project may comprise any combination of pre-construction and construction elements. The Pre-Construction funding program accelerates the completion of public works projects by funding project activities such as design engineering, bid-document preparation, environmental studies, right-of-way acquisition, value planning, permits, cultural and historic resources, and public notification. Pre-construction funding may also be used for capital facilities planning. The Emergency Construction funding program focuses on the activities that repair, replace, and/or reconstruct a facility that will restore essential services and are made necessary by a natural disaster, or an immediate and emergent threat to the public health and safety due to unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances. Applicants for emergency funding must also be able to demonstrate substantial fiscal need.
