Municipal Infrastructure Grant Program (MIGP)
The Municipal Infrastructure Grant Program (MIGP) is a competitive grant program providing capital funds for municipalities and other public entities to make improvements to public infrastructure. The overall goal is to support projects that can achieve economic development and growth by accelerating housing production, spurring private development, and creating jobs across Rhode Island.

Eligibility
Who can apply
Any Rhode Island city or town, or an agency designated by municipal officers to act on their behalf, may apply. Two or more municipalities may apply jointly.
Use of funds
Funding may support predevelopment activities (such as due diligence and preparation of engineering documents) and/or direct construction work. Investments may target projects that support job creation and expansion, housing development and rehabilitation, and community development in areas or districts communities have determined are best suited to accommodate future growth or redevelopment.
Requirements
A proposed project must be for improvements to land and/or infrastructure that is currently publicly owned or controlled. Applicants respond to Bank Requests for Proposals when funding rounds are open.
How it works
MIGP is not an open rolling application: municipalities apply when the Bank publishes an RFP for a funding round.
Request for Proposals
The Bank will, from time to time, issue Requests for Proposals to solicit project proposals from municipalities.
Submit a competitive proposal
Eligible applicants describe the public infrastructure improvement, alignment with program goals, and readiness for predevelopment or construction.
Award and delivery
Selected projects receive capital grant funding under program terms. Staff can help you understand eligibility before you apply.

Frequently asked questions
How is MIGP different from the Municipal Road & Bridge Revolving Loan Fund?
MIGP provides competitive capital grants for a broad range of municipal public infrastructure tied to economic development, housing, and community growth. The Road & Bridge Revolving Loan Fund offers long-term loan financing focused on transportation infrastructure. Many communities use both tools for different project types.
