Gov. Moore Announces $130 Million in EPA Grants to Accelerate Maryland Climate Goals

Today, Governor Wes Moore announced $130 million in grants, awarded to the State of Maryland by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), that will support Maryland’s pollution reduction and climate goals by investing in green infrastructure and jobs.

Allison Colden, Chesapeake Bay Foundation Maryland Executive Director said in a statement:

“This grant is a major investment in Maryland’s green future. New funding for green infrastructure and natural solutions to climate change, such as living shorelines, forested buffers, and critical habitats, will be paramount to keeping Maryland resilient against sea-level rise, extreme weather, and other climate threats while reducing pollution reaching our waterways and the Chesapeake Bay. 

“With this support, the Moore Administration is one step closer to achieving Maryland’s bold climate goals. We look forward to seeing more natural filters and green infrastructure solutions being implemented across the state.”
