What are CDBG/REAP Grants?
The CDBG/REAP grant program was developed in partnership with the Oklahoma Department of Commerce to make a greater impact on each district by matching CDBG funds and REAP dollar for dollar on eligible projects. Projects must be both REAP and CDBG eligible. Eligible projects include but are not limited to water, sewer, solid waste, fire protection, streets, housing demolition, senior citizen centers, gas and electrical system improvements, handicap access, storm water improvements and economic development activities.

Is there a grant award maximum?   
Grand Gateway has a maximum Rural Economic Action Plan (REAP) award of $50,000 in the case of CDBG/REAP. The Oklahoma Department of Commerce would match the REAP award for a total of $100,000. Funds are always based on availability.
