What We Do

Grants and Incentives

By researching and applying for federal, state and local grants and tax incentives, Viability provides the best funding strategies to help our clients implement cost effective expansion and energy solutions. After evaluating the effectiveness of a project proposal, our staff identifies incentive options to reduce implementation costs. Additionally, supplemental tax credits/incentives are available for some renewable fuel and energy efficiency investments.

If you have a question about eligible grants and incentives for your project, please take several minutes to fill out our free ViAlign Incentives Summary form, and we will contact you within two (2) business days with possible programs.
