The Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet is accepting grant proposals for projects that promote the use of recycled waste tires for athletic fields, playgrounds and other crumb rubber applications. 

To a limited degree, the Cabinet will also consider funding research and development proposals for experimental practices or technologies that further the statutory purposes of the waste tire program: to protect human health, safety, and the environment, or that will help develop a market for Kentucky waste tires.

Available funding for this grant cycle is $300,000 and applications are due by close of business on January 31, 2011.

For more information contact Lisa Evans at 502-564-6716. The grant application is available online on the division’s website*.    

Grant funding comes from the Waste Tire Trust Fund, which was established by the 1998 Kentucky General Assembly to receive fees collected from the sale of new tires.
