Grant funds available for air quality improvements

November 28, 2022

The City of Bartlesville is accepting applications from nonprofit agencies and not‐for‐profit low‐income housing complexes for participation in its Indoor Air Quality Improvement Grant.

The funds are from the City’s Fiscal Year 2021 Community Development Block Grant–Coronavirus Relief Grant, which originated from funds allocated to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act.

“The funds may be used for the rehabilitation of a public facility located within the city limits of Bartlesville and serving a low to moderate income area or low to moderate income clientele. Projects must improve airflow, ventilation, and/or air filtration to help prevent the transmission of COVID‐19 and other viruses.”

Projects may include the replacement of HVAC systems and other air quality systems and the addition of operable windows. The funds may only be used for the cost of equipment and installation labor, Warring said.

To apply, see www.cityofbartlesville.org. For more information, contact Warring at newarring@cityofbartlesville.org or 918.338.4243.
