The Preliminary Application lets you save your work as you go, so you don't have to do it all at once. Your application will be private. The username and password you establish will allow you to work on the application at your convenience.
Once your electronic application is complete, we will start reviewing it and will contact you with any additional questions or information we need. All documents will need to be signed before the project can be presented to the monthly meeting of the ECIDA board of directors as required by law.
There are several additional forms that will be needed with your application. Complete and submit your application first, and you will be provided with downloadable versions of these forms.
