The SLCGP grant requires a cost share that increases for each year of the program. This match is 10% for year one, 20% for year two, 30% for year three, and 40% for the fourth year of the program. The Indiana Office of Technology (IOT) has contributed heavily for years one and two, covering this requirement on behalf of the local entities.
It is the goal of the IOT to continue to offset this cost for local entities so the maximum amount of the grant will benefit local entities.
