REAP 2 (Green Means Go)
REAP 2 – Green Means Go Funding
Comments on draft program guidelines due by May 20
REAP 2 (officially, the Regional Early Action Planning Grants of 2021) is a statewide investment in support of implementing the goals and objectives of adopted regional plans. The SACOG board has directed the six-county Sacramento region’s share of the statewide REAP 2 funds towards a new Green Means Go funding program.
The Green Means Go funding program aims to catalyze development in locally adopted Green Zones through infrastructure investments needed to support higher density residential development (for example, sewer, water or drainage upgrades). A smaller portion of the program aims to fund planning activities to ready a Green Zone for capital investment and development.

SACOG has released the draft guidelines for the 2022 Green Means Go funding program. Green Means Go will award $34 million to non-transportation projects within the SACOG region that accelerate infill housing in locally-adopted Green Zones.
