However, please identify all the applicable Outcomes you expect your project will deliver on and provide anticipated results that will be achieved at project conclusion, as required.
Will any of the following environmental benefits apply during the construction, design or operation of the project? Check all that apply and describe applicability:
If your project will deliver additional ICIP Outcomes from the other funding streams, please list the Outcome(s) and the applicable indicator(s) which demonstrate how the Outcome(s) will be met.
