Amtrak will annually issue a formal Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) which will allow eligible organizations to apply for community grant and direct investment awards for projects in West Baltimore that meet the eligibility requirements. Amtrak will also host applicant information sessions after the application window opens.
