Port of Seattle Awards $45,000 in Environmental Grants to Five Community Groups
Interested future grant applicants encouraged to attend ACE Symposium on Feb. 1
SEATTLE – Communities in Burien, Des Moines, and SeaTac will soon enjoy new and expanded environmental projects benefiting high school students, parks, and gardens as the Port of Seattle awards its fifth round of grants provided by the Airport Community Ecology (ACE) Fund. The ACE Fund offers grants to organizations to improve the natural environment through projects and programs that improve livability in near-airport communities. Recognizing that communities adjacent to the airport experience more impacts from operations, the Port of Seattle Commission directed the program offer additional environmental benefits to neighborhoods in Burien, Des Moines, and SeaTac.
