Municipal Education Grants (MEGs)

Municipal Education Grants are available from the Vermont Dept of Housing and Community Affairs again this year.

Program Information

The Municipal Education Grant program (MEG) provides municipalities with funds for training volunteer boards and commissions to help them perform their duties as defined under 24 V.S.A. Chapter 117. The fund is designed to bring trainers directly to the community so that all members of the land use boards and commissions have the opportunity for basic and on-going education.

Municipalities may apply for a grant of up to $800 any time before May 15, 2009. The state will reimburse the municipality for the grant amount after the training has taken place and expenses have been paid.
