Community Infrastructure Funding Community Public Infrastructure (CPI)Funding: $29M – Proposed in 2019-2020 FY Money is distributed to communities via a formula and communities determine their own capital planning priorities. MACA’s role is to provide support to communities in the development and implementation of their capital investment plan. It is difficult to provide a summary of all community projects, but often the federal funding eligible categories is a good indication of what is to come as there is typically a cost share requirement. For details on a specific communities capital plan it would be best to contact the Senior Administrative Officer or Band Manager directly.
