IT PAYS TO BE GREEN!
Twin Cities Metro Area Grants Available for Permeable Pavers
Did you know your home or business may be eligible for a cost-sharing
grant to help pay for installing Aqua-Loc Permeable Pavers? Several
watershed districts in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area now
offer financial assistance—grants and loans—to home and business owners
for projects that meet certain qualifications for improving water
quality, including the use of permeable pavers. Additional watershed
districts are in the process of establishing similar programs.
Below is a list of resources that offer financial assistance for
permeable pavers. Contact your appropriate local government unit to find
out if you qualify. Green up your pavement—and your pocketbook!
