MDC, Inc. v. United States

A North Carolina nonprofit corporation sought money damages from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) alleged breach of a grant agreement for funds awarded pursuant to the Community Change Grants program that implemented the Inflation Reduction Act’s Environmental and Climate Justice Program. The complaint alleged that the grant agreement obligated $3,103,648 to the plaintiff in December 2024 and that EPA unilaterally terminated the agreement on May 2, 2025, “claiming that ‘the objectives of the award are no longer consistent with EPA funding priorities.’” The plaintiff asserted breach of contract and breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing.
