ECO One Stop webinars scheduled in January

The Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs will hold three webinars in January on its new Environment and Climate One Stop portal.

Two webinars will provide an overview of the grant application portal process, participating grant programs and combined application, and answer participant questions:
• Jan. 27, 10-11 a.m. (registration)
• Jan. 28, noon-1 p.m. (registration)

An additional webinar will be held on Jan. 29, 10-11 a.m. (registration), to explain how to submit fiscal 2027 ECO One Stop applications, including how to create an EEA Grants Management System account, using the platform, accessing and submitting the application.

The webinars will be held just before ECO One Stop releases a Request for Responses on COMMBUYS and opens for formal applications.

Recordings of the webinars will be posted to the ECO One Stop website.

The Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs launched an ECO One Stop portal to simplify the grant application process for climate and environmental resilience projects in Massachusetts.

By consolidating multiple grant applications into one streamlined process, the portal allows applicants to apply to multiple grants through a single application.

The application for the popular Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) Action Grants is part of ECO One Stop, along with the following programs:
• Coastal Resilience
• Coastal Habitat and Water Quality
• Cooling Corridors
• Planning Assistance
• Dam and Seawall Repair or Removal
• Culvert Replacement Municipal Assistance and Training

The MVP Planning 2.0 grant is not part of ECO One Stop and will continue to be a separate application process.

An earlier webinar on the ECO One Stop process is available on the program’s webpage, along with an FAQ document.
