SLO County Clean Air Incentives

SLO County APCD has been operating our Grant Program since 1997. In that time, we have infused over $36.2 million dollars into our local economy to help businesses modernize their equipment and comply early with State emission regulation. These dollars have funded the reduction of over 3,343 tons of smog forming pollutants.

Open Progams
