For the FY 2018 and FY 2019 biennium (July 1, 2017 - June 30, 2019), approximately $50.8 million is available each year (total = $101,656,000) for funding from the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund. As of July 15, 2017, the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCCMR) received 217 proposals requesting a total of approximately $183 million. This RFP process is for funding beginning July 1, 2018. Approximately $45.7 million is remaining from the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund to be available to recommend for project funding from the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund (ENRTF). NOTE: $5,089,000 of FY19 ENRTF funds were expended by the 2017 Legislature.
The LCCMR will be meeting on September 13-14 to select proposals to call in for a presentation. Proposal presentations are scheduled for September 26, 27, 28 and October 3, 4, and 5 (as needed). Check the LCCMR schedule for the most up-to-date information on important process dates.
