State & Federal Grant Opportunities
CDBG
ColPac has extensive experience administering and offering technical support to cities and counties awarded a variety of federal and state grants, including EDA, TIGER, ODOT, and CDBG funding.
In the Northwest region, a range of projects, including water and wastewater systems, disaster/emergency funding, food banks, and community centers have been successfully funded by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) programs. Business Oregon administers the state of Oregon’s annual federal allocation of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for non-metropolitan cities and counties. ColPac has provided grant administration and labor standards services for cities and counties conducting CDBG projects for over a decade.
Public Works and Community Facility projects may be design-only, construction-only, or combined design-build projects. ColPac has expertise in providing necessary grant administration and labor standards monitoring for all phases of a project. If you think your project would be a good fit for the CDBG program or another federal/state grant, please email lydia@nworegon.org.
