Culvert Replacement Training Site Grant Funding

New Environment & Climate One Stop (ECO One Stop) for Culvert Replacement Training Initiative Grants – FY27 Expressions of Interest (EOI) Now Open!

We are excited to announce the launch of our new Environment & Climate One Stop (ECO One Stop) . This year, the application for Culvert Replacement Training Initiative Grants will be a part of the ECO One Stop, a new initiative created to simplify the grant application process for climate and environmental resilience projects in Massachusetts. By consolidating multiple grant applications into one streamlined process, the ECO One Stop allows applicants to apply to multiple grants through a single application.

A key component of this new process is the optional, but highly recommended, Expression of Interest (EOI) period. Submitting an EOI allows applicants to provide a summary of their project idea and receive early feedback from relevant grant program staff before the formal application period begins in early 2026.

• Expression of Interest Form: ECO Expression of Interest | Mass.gov
• Due: October 28^th at 11:59 pm

DER’s Culvert Replacement Training Site Initiative is a network of culvert replacement sites across the state that serve as case studies and provide training opportunities for local road managers. This initiative aims to create a network of road managers with advanced experience implementing culvert replacements that meet the Massachusetts Stream Crossing Standards. Only projects that intend to meet the goals of the Massachusetts Stream Crossing Standards will be considered for funding.
