Grants that bolster community.
If you see a need in your community for public infrastructure improvements, you can apply for one of the grant programs administered by Idaho Commerce. These grants can help fund a range of projects, from water lines to public parks to senior and community centers, with the goal of making communities more inviting to future growth.
