Ohio EPA offers $2M in grants to replace airport diesel equipment - cleveland. com Advance Local Express Desk CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency is making $2 million available to public airports to replace or repower aging diesel ground support equipment with cleaner alternatives.

“Ohio’s airports connect people, businesses, and communities every day,” said Ohio EPA Director John Logue. “This funding will help improve air quality, while strengthening the infrastructure Ohio depends on. ” The trust fund was established after Volkswagen admitted to using illegal emissions-control devices in certain diesel vehicles.
States received allocations based on the number of affected vehicles registered within their borders. Over the past decade, the trust has provided approximately $65 million in Ohio to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions through cleaner transportation technologies.
Past projects have included replacing diesel trucks, school and transit buses, ferries, locomotives, forklifts and cargo-handling equipment, as well as deploying electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Ohio EPA will host a free informational webinar at 1:30 p. m.

On June 29, 2026, EPA announced it will waive the $25,000 WIFIA application fee and the credit processing fee — averaging roughly $156,000 per loan — for communities of 25,000 or fewer residents in fiscal years 2026 and 2027. Combined, that removes nearly $200,000 in upfront cost from the single most affordable federal water-infrastructure financing program, which carries roughly $11 billion in available capacity and can cover up to 80% of eligible project costs at Treasury-rate pricing. For small towns, rural utilities, and the nonprofits and districts that serve them, this is a rare instance of the federal government lowering the barrier to a program that has historically been out of reach for exactly the communities that need it most. Here is what changed, who qualifies, and how to move on a letter of interest before the window closes.
Read articleFor FY2026 and FY2027, EPA is waiving the $25,000 WIFIA application fee and the ~$156,000 credit-processing fee for water systems serving 25,000 or fewer people — a near-$200,000 discount on access to an $11 billion pool of low-cost federal financing. The waiver removes the single barrier that kept small and rural utilities out of WIFIA for a decade. Here is how WIFIA actually works, who qualifies, why the letter of interest is the real gate, and how a town of 8,000 should think about a program built for billion-dollar projects.

Here is why WIFIA has been underused by small systems, how the loan actually works, and how a rural utility should build a WIFIA strategy in 2026.
