How are you determining which communities are vulnerable?

What's the signature requirement for the application? E.g. is a signature required from Town/City Manager?

if a project is for private homeowners in a neighborhood and all property owners are invested in project, what would community engagement look like?

@mackenzie - we will include more details on the definition of vulnerable populations in the presentation

Can a consultant help with writing a grant application and carry out work for planning or project development? Or does working on the application make them ineligible for contracting services?

Would in-lieu fee grant funds from the CT ILF (Army Corps of Engineers) be considered a local match partner? Audubon CT is the administrator of this program

If municipalities were looking to implement a stormwater utility, would hiring a consultant for a feasibility study need to be funded by federal funds? Or would this be considered as implementing the plan?

Does Track 1 cover expenses for studies such as hydrodynamics, e.g. sediment transport, wave action?

Thank you!

Rebecca and Sarah, I think the question is around the subtle differences between hyper-local planning, site selection, and project selection. If the project cannot be identified in the application, is Track 2 best?

@david if there is NO project identified or even a list of potential projects already identified from which you would be choosing (e.g. those projects already identified in a Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan), I would recommend going for Track 1 planning

Projects under Track 2 must have been identified in a previous "plan." If no planning process has occurred, you should be going for funding under Track 1.

Thanks Rebecca, this is incredibly helpful -- thanks

Half of our project is in Bridgeport, an EJ community, and half is in Fairfield. Does this get considered as a priority or will it be part of second screening of grants?

will this be posted by next week?

Thanks!
