All BRC applicants must be a city, town, county, Joint powers board or Tribe. The grant/loans are for publicly owned infrastructure.

Many factors affect the application/award of a BRC grant/loan. For planning purposes, from the time the BRC grant/loan is submitted to the WBC until the time an applicant spend funds is about six months. This does not include the time spent developing the application.
