The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) will begin accepting applications Thursday, Jan. 15 for grants from the state’s Tire Environmental Act Program (TEAP).
The grants are to fund projects such as tire recycling and processing, using materials such as aggregate that are derived from tires, initiating research and development in tire management, using tires for alternative fuels, or promoting innovation in infrastructure.
The deadline for submission of grant applications is April 15. There are no restrictions on eligible entity types. All organizations are eligible to apply for the funding.
TDEC will host a webinar on Jan. 29 at 1 p.m. (CST) for more information about the program.
