Funding for an Offshore Wind Project
When a large wind project off the coast of New York was looking to secure funding support for their project, they turned to Brownstein for our deep top-level connectivity and intelligence on a federal grant program. We secured letters of support from local elected officials and federal representatives, who weighed in favorably with the government. We provided analysis of the rules and weighing factors that would determine the grant’s recipient in order to ensure the most competitive application for our client.
