The Governor has announced that 27 communities throughout the state will receive $4.3 million in grants through the Economic Vitality Incentive Program.  

The funding will be used by local units to help offset costs associated with service sharing or consolidation or other cooperative efforts.

You’ll recall that the EVIP program replaced the statutory revenue sharing program and money was set aside as a incentive for local units to further collaborative efforts. A list of the grant recipients is below.
