The money shows up long before the work does.
A city wins a state loan, passes a bond or adds a line to its capital plan, and a project is on its way. It shows up in a funding list, a budget or a board vote, written for accountants. By the time it is out to bid, the people who saw the money have been working it for a year.
How it runs
A person on your team approves before anything is written to a system you run.
- Watch
Grants, state revolving fund lists, bond measures, budgets and capital plans, as they are published.
- Read
What the money is for: the facility, the scope, the size and the year.
- Connect
Each award to the project it pays for, so a loan, a budget line and a board vote become one project.
- Tell you
When something in your area and your kind of work gets funded, and when it moves.
What it produces
Every field links to where it came from.

Questions
- Which funding do you read?
- Federal and state grants, state revolving fund lists, bond measures, budgets and capital plans, across cities, counties, utilities and agencies.
- How far ahead does this see?
- Often a year or more before anything bids. A capital plan can name a project five years out; a funded loan usually means design is close.
