Snohomish County is accepting applications for small capital projects partnership (SCPP) grants
until March 31st
, 2017. This Council sponsored initiative is an opportunity to make real differences in
our community.
“Every year we see wonderful projects that are assisted with funds from this grant program,” said
Council Chair Brian Sullivan. “All of us at the Council are looking forward to seeing what projects
will be submitted this year.”
“This is an excellent way to help fund small projects that might not otherwise be completed,” added
Council Vice Chair Stephanie Wright. “It has been a good opportunity for organizations and cities in
my district.”
These projects must be submitted by both the applicant group and a public entity, as a joint project.
SCCP grant projects can be greatly successful with proper planning and cooperation between all
parties.
"This is a great way for the County to partner with local cities and organizations to help fund
community projects," said Councilmember Terry Ryan. "I am glad we are able to continue this
program."
Project proposals will be evaluated against criteria including: the application’s completeness, the
proposed project’s consistency with funding limitations imposed by the State of Washington for Real
Estate Excise Tax (REET) funds, the proposed project’s feasibility and timing to implementation
(including any funding and/or permit issues), the level and cost of Snohomish County’s
involvement, the availability of matching funds, the availability of in-kind materials and labor, the
applicants’ demonstrated success in completing similar projects, and other relevant information
demonstrating the proposed project’s value, readiness and benefit.
“It is great to see our County investing in projects that benefit our local communities,” added
Councilmember Sam Low.
These grants are issued on a reimbursement base only. Work on the project must be completed
before the grant money will be issued.

Council, at (425) 388-3559 or at Carol.Taber@snoco.org.
