The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Derelict Building Grant Program has announced $350,000 in grants to 18 small, rural Iowa communities to help deconstruct or renovate abandoned structures, remove asbestos, and limit construction and demolition materials going to the landfill.
The DNR Derelict Building Grant Program (DBGP) was instituted by statute to help rural communities with populations of 5,000 or less. DBGP funding is awarded annually on a competitive basis with cash matches required.
