Environmental Facilities Corporation
The Environmental Facilities Corporation (EFC) is a public benefit corporation which provides financial and technical assistance primarily to municipalities by providing low-cost financing for their water quality infrastructure projects. EFC administers a number of programs, including managing the most successful State Revolving Funds in the nation. These programs have provided over $34 billion in low-cost financing and grants for approximately 3,000 water and sewer infrastructure projects across New York State.
In 2011, Governor Cuomo launched the Regional Economic Development Councils and the Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) To provide each region with the tools to create and implement their own roadmap for economic prosperity and job creation.
After seven successful rounds, the 2018 CFA made over $750 million in economic development resources available from over thirty programs across ten state agencies. The New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation is proud to announce this year’s Engineering Planning Grant and Green Innovation Grant Program award recipients.
