ABOUT GEFA
Founded in 1985, the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (GEFA)
directs programs that improve Georgia's environment, protect
natural resources, and promote economic development. GEFA provides
loans for water, wastewater, and solid waste infrastructure;
manages energy efficiency and renewable energy programs;
administers land conservation loans; and monitors state-owned fuel
storage tanks. This is an exciting time to join the GEFA team as
the state of Georgia makes investments in water and energy with
funding from the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and
state funding. GEFA has provided almost $6 billion in low-interest
loans to cities, counties, and infrastructure authorities, which
has supported more than 2,100 water, wastewater, solid waste, and
land conservation projects across Georgia. In 2023, GEFA awarded
more than $400 million in loans and grants to improve Georgia's
water resources. In the next few years, GEFA anticipates receiving
more federal funds for energy and water projects. Much of this
funding is dedicated to small and disadvantaged communities.
