Soil and Water Resource Management Grant Program
The Soil and Water Resource Management (SWRM) Grant Program provides approximately $30,000 annually for the installation of conservation practices throughout Kenosha County. In most cases, this program funds 70% of the cost of your construction project. Our office accepts applications year round for a variety of conservation practices. Please see ATCP 50.61 General standards for cost-shared practices under ch. 92 Wis. Stats.
