million in funding for FASTLANE Grants for fiscal year 2016, with at least 25 percent reserved for rural projects, and ten percent for small projects that do not meet statutory minimum project size requirements. Prospective applicants are encouraged
to look through the full
Notice of Funding Opportunity. Applications are due by 8:00 PM EDT on April 14, 2016.
