Requests to inspect or receive public records from EGLE must be in writing and describe the requested records with enough detail to enable the department to identify and locate the requested records. Some records are exempt from disclosure under the FOIA or another statute and thus will not be provided. A fee may be charged to process your request. Please note that many records are available that do not require a formal FOIA request.

Under the $6 billion Clean Communities Investment Accelerator, the five selected applicants will establish hubs that provide funding and technical assistance to community lenders working in low-income and disadvantaged communities, providing an immediate pathway to deploy projects in those communities while also building the capacity of hundreds of community lenders to finance projects for years.
Each of the selectees will provide capitalization funding (typically up to $10 million per community lender), technical assistance subawards (typically up to $1 million per community lender), and technical assistance services so that community lenders can provide financial assistance to deploy distributed energy, net-zero buildings, and zero-emissions transportation projects where they are needed most.
100% of capital under the CCIA is dedicated to low-income and disadvantaged communities.
To facilitate CCIA awardee investments in Michigan, EGLE’s Office of Climate and Energy, in partnership with Michigan’s community lenders, including the Michigan Credit Union League and the Michigan CDFI Coalition, has launched the Michigan Climate Investment Fund, as part of its larger accelerator initiative.
