The Local Initiatives Grant Program includes applications for the <br />Natural and Scenic Area, Regional Parks (outside the metro area) and the Outdoor <br />Recreation Grant Program. This review, which included a careful analysis of each <br />application was completed by staff of the Local Grants Unit. <br />About $2.8 million in federal Land and Water Conservation Fund (LAWCON) dollars, <br />State Bonding dollars and State Environmental Trust Fund dollars were available for <br />grants this year. Competition for the limited grant dollars available was intense. Only <br />10 applications, out of 91 applications submitted were recommended for funding. <br />Unfortunately, your application did not rank highly enough to be recommended for <br />funding this year. <br />If you would like information regarding your application and/or suggestions on how <br />your proposed project might be revised to make it more competitive, please call <br />your grants manager, Joe Hiller, at 651/259-5538. <br />Thank you for your interest in the Natural and Scenic Area Grant Program. <br />Sincerely, <br />"G~/~ R 1vt. ~~.Pit <br />Wayne M.
