SERVICES
We support our clients’ environmental needs through a variety of skill sets, including planning, grant writing and administration, and consultation. ECICOG works with five watershed management authorities, delivers the Iowa Waste Exchange program, and serves as the solid waste planning area for our region.
Grant Writing & Administration
The ECICOG region is wealthy in natural resources, and our communities have a wide range of grant programs available to them. ECICOG has experience working with grants from funding sources including the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Iowa Economic Development Authority, and Environmental Protection Agency. Whether a community needs assistance demolishing a derelict building, improving their wastewater treatment plant, or upgrading a recycling center, ECICOG staff can help find and apply for funding.
