The Municipal Investment Grant (MIG) Program traditionally awards funding on a competitive basis to entities who have taxing authority (i.e., cities, towns, villages, and fire districts). The program has evolved over the years as the needs and priorities of the County and its communities have changed. MIG focus areas are reviewed annually, and as a result, the focus areas may be updated from year-to-year. Priority is given to projects that partner with other municipalities and taxing authorities, develop shared services, align with the County's priorities and needs, and create savings for taxpayers.
Funding is awarded on an annual basis.
