If your business deals with volatile organic compounds or VOC the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has an offer for you. But you have to act before May 11.

The MPCA is offering grants up to $50,000 to small businesses to reduce their VOC emissions and it swears the application for the grant is easy.

Reduction can come from switching from powder coating to water-based paint or changing to a water-based parts washer or anything else that reduces VOC.
