North Carolina Revolving Loan and Grant Program
In 1987, the NC General Assembly created the North Carolina Revolving Loan and Grant Program to provide state financing for the construction of wastewater facilities. Funding for this program is dependent upon legislative appropriations and may not be available at all times. Eligible applicants are limited to units of local government who may apply for funding from any of three available funds:
- Low Interest Revolving Loans at one-half (1/2) of the market rate for wastewater collection and treatment facilities for up to a maximum of twenty (20) years. *New* - Units of Government that meet the high-unit cost threshold can receive an interest rate of 0%. See the rules governing the program for details.
- Low Interest Emergency Revolving Loans for certified water quality or public health emergencies associated with existing facilities.
- High-Unit Cost Grants for up to $3,000,000 per applicant over three fiscal years to make projects more affordable by keeping user fees at a reasonable level. To determine eligibility for high-unit cost grants, compare the monthly water and sewer rates for your local government unit to the average residential water and sewer bill. You may average up to one year of consecutive monthly averages.
