I want to share news about two RFPs for Clean Diesel projects that were recently announced by the state (NC DENR) and by the US EPA. Please contact me if you are in WNC and considering applying for one of these grants. If you would like to discuss project feasibility, Land-of-Sky staff may be able to help.
