Dear Scott,
This letter is to inform you that the Department of Natural Resources, Trails and Waterways Unit
has received your grant application for the 1997 Cooperative Trail Grant Program entitled 58th
Street Trail Connection. Your project has been given a tracking number of LCO26 -97 -6 which
will be noted on all paperwork sent to you. Please note this number on all documents you send
us in order to keep track of all paperwork.
DNR is in the process of reviewing the projects. For your information, 31 projects totaling over
$1 million in requests were submitted. The Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources
has recommended to the legislature that $200,000 be allocated statewide for this grant program.
The availability of money is contigent on legislative action to authorize the funds. Therefore,
project selection will not take place until the summer. You may be contacted by DNR staff
regarding questions about your project and to request a visit to your trail site. Please remember
that the DNR will not reimburse for any work done on your project prior to a mutually
agreeable, signed contract is completed. In slightly different words, do not perform any work
on your project that you expect to be reimbursed for until a contract between you and the DNR
has been signed.
You are to be congratulated for your effort to move this project forward. If you have any
questions, feel free to contact myself at 612/296 -6048. Good luck!
Sincerely,
P .Ct.CF) / eiLLA
