WHAT WE DO:

CTED Capital Programs provides reimbursement-style grants to local governments and nonprofit organizations for a variety of capital programs and specified projects.  All of our programs are funded by the sale of state bonds (no federal funds are involved).  Funding is provided through three competitive grant programs and three programs featuring capital projects introduced by the governor or the Legislature.  See below for more information on each program.  Feel free to contact CTED Capital Programs staff if you have any questions.
