Attorney General Josh Stein announced that Eastern North Carolina will receive over $685,000 in grants. These awards will be used to support the Environmental Enhancement Grant (EEG) program.
The Conservation Fund received $200,000 to partner with the U.S. Marine Corps in Eastern NC to protect floodplains and waterfront along the Neuse River Basin. This project will maintain habitats for rare species and promote conservation while also improving the military's training capacity in the area.
