Connecticut General Statutes Title 22A. Environmental Protection § 22a-21d. Connecticut Service Corps established. Project sponsors. Grants

(1) For the first grant year: One dollar may be awarded for each dollar of state agency or municipal government funds committed to and expended for a project and one dollar and fifty cents may be awarded for each dollar of private funds committed to and expended for the project. Not more than one dollar may be awarded to match the value of in-kind services committed to and expended on a project. No grant shall be awarded to match any indirect expenses that may be incurred by a project sponsor.

(2) Provided a project sponsor has fulfilled the terms and requirements of the grant agreement in the preceding year and provided the amount of funds other than grant funds committed to and expended for the project shall be not less than the funds committed in the first year of the project, a project sponsor may apply for and receive, within available appropriations, diminishing annual grants as follows: In the second year of the project, seventy-five per cent of the amount awarded for the first year; in the third year of the project, fifty per cent of the amount awarded for the first year; in the fourth year of the project, twenty-five per cent of the amount awarded in the first year. No grant shall be awarded after the fourth year of the project. Grants for the continuation of existing projects shall take precedence over awards for new projects.
