This workshop is free and open to the public, and no matter where your property is, you can benefit from attending. Please note, however, only properties within the designated corridor are eligible for grant funding through this program. To be eligible for a grant, applicants must attend a program workshop, which will take place every three months, or until all grant funds have been awarded. An additional workshop will occur at the same time and place on September 11.
