RE: Outdoor Recreation Grant Program Application
Dear Mr. Richards :
The Minnesota State Legislature did not authorize bonding dollars for the Outdoor
Recreation Grant Program this session. Therefore, we have decided to extend the
application deadline for the Outdoor Recreation Grant Program to March 31, 1997. This
deadline will correspond with the Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources'
(LCMR) intention to fund the Local Initiatives Grants Program which includes funding
for the Outdoor Recreation Grant Program. The funding would be available July 1, 1997.
Application request forms and program information will be mailed out this fall for all
of the programs available through the Local Initiatives Grants Program. The deadline for
the Outdoor Recreation Grant Program will be March 31, 1997. You will not need to submit
a new application request form. The application forms you are currently working with will
not change.
The application review and evaluation period will begin March 31, 1997 with grant awards
announced in early summer . We expect that approved projects could begin during the
summer of 1997.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Applications may be submitted
before the March 31 deadline for review and comments from program staff. If you have any
questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the staff person assigned to your area
or me at 612/296 -1567.
Sincerely,
�

Wayne Sames, Supervisor
Local Grants Program
