Air Quality Grants

Port Everglades is committed to improving air quality to benefit our tenants, visitors, staff, and the surrounding community. As part of this continued work, the port is pursuing three grants for emission-reducing projects, and we need your help.

There are three different grant opportunities from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Clean Ports Program and U.S. Maritime Administration’s Port Infrastructure Development Program (PIDP) that the port is asking for stakeholder support. Below are instructions and downloadable letters of support templates.
