Delaware Climate Resilience and Infrastructure Grant Act

This Act establishes a competitive state grant program to support flood mitigation and climate-resilience upgrades in vulnerable Delaware communities. Grants may fund drainage improvements, flood-control projects, road and bridge elevation or reinforcement, stormwater management, and related transportation infrastructure upgrades. The Department of Transportation, in coordination with relevant state agencies, shall prioritize projects based on documented flood risk, public safety, infrastructure condition, community need, and local matching funds, with assistance available to municipalities and counties with limited fiscal capacity. The program shall be implemented through annual appropriations and publicly reported project selection criteria.
