Required next actionIdentify a project-specific Georgia public water, wastewater, stormwater, drinking-water, nonpoint-source, or solid-waste applicant with a current eligible capital or planning need. Verify the correct funding source, applicant eligibility, project readiness, supplemental attachments, affordability/principal-forgiveness position, authoritative recipient, CRM Account/Contact/Deal/Atlas_Email_Queue deduplication, Email_Opt_Out, permanent hard-bounce status, and prior successful ORIGINAL transmission history before outreach or package work.
Broad Eligibility
Projects must fit the applicable CWSRF, DWSRF, or Georgia Fund eligibility rules. The call covers planning, engineering, design, and construction for water quality, wastewater, stormwater, nonpoint-source pollution, drinking-water, and solid-waste projects. CWSRF/DWSRF projects must be included in the applicable Intended Use Plan to receive funding.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 78/100. Large Georgia-administered infrastructure funding pathway with potential CWSRF/DWSRF principal forgiveness and below-market financing, but it is primarily financing rather than a conventional fixed-award grant. N9+ Fit 0/100. QC Healthcare Fit 0/100. No applicant-specific outreach should occur until exact project eligibility and CRM gates are cleared.
Opportunity Overview
The Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (GEFA) has opened its 2027 Call for Projects for the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF), Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF), and Georgia Fund. The call covers planning, engineering, design, and construction for eligible water-quality, wastewater, stormwater, nonpoint-source pollution, drinking-water, and solid-waste projects.
Funding Structure
This is primarily a financing opportunity rather than a conventional fixed-award grant competition. GEFA states that CWSRF and DWSRF projects may receive principal forgiveness based on affordability criteria, project rank, and program priorities. The controlling 2027 call page does not publish a fixed per-project principal-forgiveness amount or a total 2027 award pool.
As of May 2026, GEFA publishes benchmark 20-year interest rates of 3.03% for CWSRF and DWSRF and 4.03% for the Georgia Fund, with discounts available for qualifying WaterFirst, PlanFirst, small/disadvantaged-community, and conservation projects. Rates are subject to change.
Deadline and Submission
A completed online pre-application, including all supplemental attachments, is required for a project to be included in the State Revolving Fund Intended Use Plan. The current deadline is January 29, 2027 at 5:00 p.m. Pre-applications received after that time will not be scored. GEFA does not publish a deadline-specific time zone on the controlling call page, so Atlas does not infer one.
Eligibility and Evaluation
Eligible projects depend on the applicable funding source. GEFA states that project ranking considers readiness to proceed, compliance benefits, public-health benefits for DWSRF, water-quality benefits for CWSRF, priority project types, priority planning elements, and priority applicant status. Only projects included in the applicable current Intended Use Plan may receive CWSRF or DWSRF funding.
Atlas Assessment
Atlas Opportunity Score: 78/100. This is a substantial current Georgia-administered infrastructure funding pathway with potential principal forgiveness, but the opportunity is financing-led and the controlling public page does not state a fixed per-project grant amount or deadline time zone.
N9+ Fit: 0/100. QC Healthcare Fit: 0/100. Do not force healthcare technology into a water, wastewater, stormwater, drinking-water, or solid-waste infrastructure financing program.
Applicant-specific qualification remains required before CRM, WorkDrive, package, or ORIGINAL outreach work. Atlas must verify the exact project, applicable fund, borrower/applicant eligibility, project readiness, attachments, affordability/principal-forgiveness status, authoritative recipient, CRM deduplication, Email Opt-Out, hard-bounce status, and prior successful ORIGINAL transmission history.
