Rule 267-12-.07 The Criteria for the Award of the Grant
The Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority (GEFA) will review those applications based upon the local government or non-profit's ability to quickly purchase and operate a road restriping program. Equipment purchased must be fuel efficient and save more energy than traditional striping procedures. Higher value will be given to those applications which are multi-county/jurisdictional in nature. Therefore, GEFA is looking for applications where equipment can be shared to make the most efficient use of limited resources. In addition, any on-profit applicant must submit a copy of their most recent financial audit or financial statement.
