Midwest Regional Rebuild America Application Center

Project goal is to develop a Midwest Regional Rebuild America Application Center (Center) that will provide the Midwestern States with the information, education, and technical assistance necessary to continue and expand, in a coordinated manner, their Rebuild America program activities. The Center will apply specific structure to the Rebuild America program on a regional basis, supporting (not replacing) the efforts of the states within the region. This effort will focus on building capacity and documenting results. An effective way of growing capacity in times of shrinking budgets is to provide the forum and mechanisms for the states to tap into and utilize the knowledge, experiences, and best practices of all the states and other energy information entities in the region.
