Identifying, prioritizing, and planning infrastructure needs

Many infrastructure projects can receive funding. Federal and state funding opportunities are available throughout each fiscal year for various stages of project implementation, including preliminary reports, planning and design, environmental studies, construction, and equipment. Grants are available for multiple projects related to transportation, public works, infrastructure, parks and recreation, and natural resources, including water and energy.

Wilson & Company collaborates with clients to identify, prioritize, and plan infrastructure needs. Our accomplished funding specialists have experience assisting clients in preparing grant/loan applications for numerous funding agencies, including state, federal, and private sources.

Federal infrastructure funding sources can come from the Department of Agriculture – Rural Development (USDA-RD), the Department of the Interior – Bureau of Reclamation, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of Homeland Security Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Department of Defense, the Department of Environmental Protection, the Department of Economic Development Administration, and the Department of Transportation. While funding at the state level is unique to each state, all states may apply for their allocation of applicable federal funding. States use these federal awards, called sub-allocations, to create grant programs to fund local projects. States may also appropriate state revenue to fund grant programs. Our experience working for clients has led to the acquisition of funding from a range of these sources.

Successful infrastructure projects begin with a strong funding strategy and multidisciplinary planning. Wilson & Company works closely with our planning, engineering services, and environmental engineering teams to help clients identify funding opportunities, prepare competitive applications, and move projects from concept through implementation.

We take pride in our ability to work with communities to find funding sources so they can pursue much-needed infrastructure projects.
