Activation of an emergency loan program to provide relief and rehabilitation for farmers impacted by the March 2026 Kona Low storm, including funding for crop and livestock losses, infrastructure repair, and related expenses.

This project represents a high-potential contracting opportunity in agricultural consulting (for loan application support and damage assessment), financial services (loan processing and servicing), and possibly construction or supply (farm infrastructure repair). Inferred: There is likely demand for vendors providing farm supplies, repair services, insurance, and consulting related to disaster recovery as farms seek to restore operations. Stakeholders mentioned explicitly in the document. No resolution number provided. The maximum loan amount is $100,000 per recipient. Opportunities may exist for businesses supporting the application process, assessment, and loan administration.

Grant Funding

CRPC listed a Climate Pollution Reduction Grants update. No award, contract, or project scope was named in the agenda, so this is best read as grant-program tracking rather than a procurement. The signal matters because climate grant programs can feed future transportation, resiliency, and emissions-reduction projects.

Grant Funding

CRPC noted a Carbon Reduction Program call for projects on a rolling basis. That means funding is available for future submissions, but the agenda does not name any selected project or recipient. The lead is relevant because members and member jurisdictions may still be building applications or project lists for this grant stream.

Grant Funding

CRPC gave a Safe Streets for All (SS4A) grant update. The item suggests ongoing grant-funded transportation safety work, but the agenda does not state an award amount, selected consultant, or next procurement step. It is still useful as grant intelligence because SS4A often leads to planning, design, and implementation work once funding moves forward.
