Skill Centers Capital Funding
Skill centers provide students with hands-on learning environments similar to current industries. The number of skill centers has grown to 17 throughout the state.
The Legislature has provided capital minor and major works funding grants for skill centers in Washington State since their inception in the 1970s. That funding is administered by School Facilities and Organization (SFO) at the OSPI. School district host districts pay project costs upfront, then request reimbursement from SFO.
Undertaking capital projects is a joint effort between OSPI, skill center directors, and host district staff. Skill centers directors understand program needs. Host district staff has capital project experience and manages the projects. A capital project manual was designed to provide guidance for everyone involved.
WAC 392-600-010 defines a skill center as a regional career and technical education partnership that provides access to comprehensive programs of study that prepare students for postsecondary education and careers. A skill center is operated by the host school district and governed by an administrative council in accordance with the interdistrict cooperative agreement.
South Carolina Department of Agriculture
The South Carolina Department of Agriculture was established in 1879 to oversee and promote agriculture in the Palmetto State. With services as diverse as food safety inspections, entrepreneurship development, and the Certified South Carolina branding program, we help the state’s farmers and agribusinesses grow and prosper.
The mission of the South Carolina Department of Agriculture is to promote and nurture the growth and development of South Carolina’s agriculture industry and its related businesses while assuring the safety and security of the buying public.
GAP Audit Reimbursement Cost Share
Through funding from the USDA AMS Specialty Crop Block Grant Program (#25SCBPSC1280), South Carolina growers can now get reimbursed for 90% of the costs associated with a GAP audit completed while funds are available. To help growers receive reimbursements faster, they may choose to receive two separate payments. A grower may submit Part I of the application as soon as they have paid the SCDA portion of the audit without having to wait on the USDA invoice. Then, once the grower has paid the USDA portion, they may submit Part II of the application to receive 90% of that amount as well. However, a grower may choose instead to submit both parts together to receive one larger payment. See examples below:
Example 1
Smith Farm submits a paid receipt from SCDA Fruit & Vegetable Inspections for $575 with Part I of the application and receives a check for $517.50 approximately four weeks later. ($575 × 90%)
Next, the Smiths receive the USDA invoice, pay $345 to USDA, then submit the paid receipt with Part II of the application to USDA. About four weeks later the Smiths receive a second check for $310.50. ($345 × 90%)
Example 2
Jones Farm is charged the same as the Smiths above but chooses to wait until they have paid both invoices to submit the application. In this case, they may submit both Parts I and II of the application at the same time. The Jones’ will receive one check approximately four weeks later for $828.
($575 + $345 = $920 × 90%)
Applicants must submit a complete application package including all of the following:
County Aid

Program Benefits
The Urban Nonpoint Source & Storm Water (UNPS&SW) Management Grant Program offers competitive grants to local governments for the control of pollution from diffuse urban sources that is carried by storm water runoff. Grants from the UNPS&SW Program reimburse costs of planning or construction projects controlling urban nonpoint source and storm water runoff pollution. Funds are typically awarded for either construction or planning projects. The grant period is 2 years. Projects funded by these grants are sitespecific, serve areas generally smaller in size than a subwatershed, and are targeted to address highpriority problems. The construction and planning applications are offered on alternate years.

The Boating Access Grant Program provides 75% matching fund grant assistance to plan and construct new, or renovate existing, public boat ramps that provide public access to public waters for recreational boating. The State Boating Access Program receives funding from the Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Act. Funds for the federal program are derived from the federal gasoline tax generated by sales of gasoline for recreational motorboats and a federal excise tax on the sales of fishing tackle and trolling motors. Program assistance will be in the form of a Phase I – Planning grant and subsequently a Phase II – Construction Grant. The local sponsor must be willing to assume all maintenance responsibilities, including grass mowing and weed control, litter/refuse pick-up and removal, signage maintenance, security surveillance, plus necessary repairs and renovations, as needed, to insure public use and safety.Funding:
