The Department of Commerce is the one agency in state government that touches every aspect of community and economic development: planning, infrastructure, energy, public facilities, housing, public safety and crime victims, international trade, business services and more. We work with local governments, tribes, businesses and civic leaders throughout the state to strengthen communities so all residents may thrive and prosper.
This program provides state grants to nonprofit, community-based organizations, covering up to 33 percent of eligible capital costs for the acquisition and major new construction or renovation of arts and cultural facilities.
