King County's Department of Natural Resources and Parks awards grants and provides free technical assistance to new construction and major renovation commercial building projects in King County. King County's Commercial Green Building Grants Program provides resources to projects built in King County that meet stringent criteria for resource conservation. Minimum performance requirements include LEED* Gold or Built Green** 4-Star certification. Private, nonprofit, and public projects are eligible to apply for grant awards.
In 2009, five grants were awarded to projects meeting at least LEED Gold standards and incorporating low impact design strategies. A new round of grants for 2011 is expected. In previous years, eligible projects could receive a grant of up to $35,000. The award levels have not yet been determined for 2011. Updated information about the 2011 grant cycle will be posted on the above-referenced program website.
