The maximum award for all Local Government Efficiency Grants will be set annually by the Board upon recommendation by the Commissioner. Maximum award amounts in any given fiscal year may be waived by the Commissioner with the concurrence of the Board. Eligible applicants receiving a grant award will be required to provide a match of no less than 25% of the grant amount. This matching requirement may be met through cash or in-kind contribution. In-kind means non-cash items such as labor, materials, supplies or services applied directly to the project. The match must be available for expenditure at the time of the grant award. Funds expended prior to the date of the grant award cannot be counted as match. State funds cannot be used as match. Each party to an application must demonstrate how it will contribute to the required local match.
