Donor Name: Utah Department of Cultural & Community Engagement
State: Utah
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 09/07/2022

Details:
Priority will be given to projects that demonstrate existing building/structural components that are in critical condition, repairs or replacements to existing interior systems that are necessary for health and safety reasons, and/or new construction. Additionally, projects that can be moved ahead quickly so that the funding can be allocated and spent within the timeframe. Additional priorities include:
