Stan Mayfield Working Waterfronts Capital Outlay Grant Program

The Stan Mayfield Working Waterfronts Capital Outlay Grant Program, abbreviated SMWWCO, is administered through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The fiscal year 2026-27 funding information is a supplemental document associated with the SMWWCO Applicant Webinar and provides cycle-specific information that may change from year to year. The document is limited to the FY 2026-27 funding cycle and does not provide a full statement of the program's broader statutory purpose, detailed applicant eligibility requirements, or comprehensive project eligibility criteria. For this cycle, a total of $2,525,359.91 is available. Applicants may request no more than $125,000 per application. The source does not state a minimum request amount or an expected number of awards. The SMWWCO Grant Program operates on a reimbursement basis. Awarded grantees are responsible for paying eligible project costs upfront and then submitting reimbursement requests with the required supporting documentation. The funding notice does not identify a required matching contribution or cost-share percentage. It also does not provide additional spending categories, indirect cost limitations, project duration requirements, or detailed allowable and unallowable cost rules. Because the document only establishes a maximum request amount, no award floor is stated. The source likewise does not specify whether an applicant may submit more than one application or whether different project tracks or funding tiers apply. For the FY 2026-27 cycle, the application webinar was scheduled for Thursday, July 30, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. EDT. The application period opened Monday, August 3, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. EDT and closed Monday, August 17, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. EDT. Applications were required to be submitted electronically through the FDEP Grant Portal. Applications received after the stated deadline would not be considered. The funding information does not identify a letter of intent, concept paper, notice of intent, pre-proposal, or other pre-application document that controls advancement or access to the full application. It also does not list application narratives, attachments, certifications, budgets, or other application questions or required uploads beyond electronic submission through the portal. Applications are subject to an evaluation process, although the supplemental funding document does not disclose scoring criteria, weighting, review factors, ranking methodology, or evaluation questions. Applicants are to be notified by email regarding the status of their application after the evaluation process has been completed. Funding recommendations are expressly contingent upon final approval and execution of grant agreements, meaning a funding recommendation alone does not represent a fully executed award. No specific date is provided for applicant notification, final approval, grant agreement execution, project start, project completion, or the overall performance period. The source also identifies a temporary interruption in payment processing associated with the State of Florida's financial system transition. Payment processing will be unavailable from October 1, 2026, through February 1, 2027. Awarded grantees are to receive additional guidance about reimbursement submission timelines after grant execution. Questions concerning the FY 2026-27 funding cycle may be submitted to the SMWWCO Grant Program team at SMWorkingWaterfrontsCO@FloridaDEP.gov. No individual program contact or telephone number is named in the funding document. The notice does not state that the opportunity recurs annually, biennially, quarterly, or on another defined schedule, so no future cycle date can be established from this source alone.

Submit electronically through the FDEP Grant Portal by the stated deadline because late applications will not be considered; plan for upfront payment of eligible project costs because the program reimburses costs after supporting documentation is submitted; funding recommendations remain contingent on final approval and execution of grant agreements.
