Your Funding Questions, Answered

When should we start thinking about funding for our project?

Earlier than most people expect. Funding success often depends on how the project is planned from the beginning, so starting early gives you more options and a stronger application. Even if you’re just exploring an idea, it’s a great time to connect.

Absolutely. Many of our clients come to us with an idea—not a finished plan. We help shape that vision, align it with funding opportunities, and build a clear path forward.

We guide you through the entire process—from identifying the right opportunities to preparing strong, complete applications. Our goal is to make the process feel manageable and position your project for success.

Yes. Our support doesn’t stop at the award. We help move your project into design and construction, making sure everything stays aligned with funding requirements along the way.

It starts with a simple conversation. We’ll learn about your goals, answer your questions, and help you understand what’s possible—no pressure, just guidance.

We assist with local, state, and federal funding programs that support community  infrastructure projects and development initiatives. 

Our experience includes a variety of federal, state, and local grant and loan funding opportunities, including:

  • Transportation 
  • Roadway/Pedestrian safety 
  • Water and wastewater infrastructure
  • Stormwater management infrastructure
  • Economic development
  • Community improvement
  • Parks and recreation
  • Planning and design

 

If you don’t see a specific program listed, that’s okay—we’ll help you explore available opportunities and find the best fit for your project.

They do. Clear plans and visuals help tell your project’s story, making it easier for reviewers and stakeholders to understand the impact. This can strengthen your application and build broader support.

We work with the major Ohio infrastructure funders (and their federal partners) regularly including:

  • H2Ohio Program
  • Ohio Department of Transportation (statewide and Metropolitan Planning Organization programs)
  • Ohio Department of Natural Resources
  • Ohio Department of Development (including Community Development Block Grants)
  • Ohio Public Works Commission
  • Ohio EPA
  • Ohio Water Development Authority
  • US Army Corps of Engineers
  • USDA – Rural Development – Community Facilities Grants and Loans

Most agencies have a published scoring system that applicants can tailor applications to, while a few have more subjective decision-making processes. We are familiar with the published and unpublished methods of scoring and awards for most Ohio infrastructure funding agencies and are happy to help applicants put forth a fundable application.

Absolutely! Indeed, great projects often involve multiple sources, although some work better together than others. We are able to guide clients through the details of which funds can match each other, and how to align application and award timelines and construction schedules. Our goal is to worry about deadlines so you don’t have to!
