This review, by representatives from this office~ was conducted in accordance <br />with state and administrative rules and federal law. Factors taken into consideration in the <br />review and ranking were derived from the findings of the State Comprehen'sive Outdoor <br />Recreation Plan. 'fhose factors included site suitability, location/accessibility, park desig% <br />interorganizational cooperatio% comprehensive planning, and demographics, <br /> <br />Competition for the limited funds was very intense. Of the 153 applications (valued at over <br />$15.5 million) received this yeaN only 13 can be recommended for $1.2 million in available <br />funds. Unfortunately~ your application did not rank high enough Lo be recommended for <br />further grant consideration this year. There are simply not enough dollars available to fund <br />all applications. Funds for outdoor recreation projects are derived from appropriations made <br />by the U.S. Congress through the LAWCON program and by the State Legislature through <br />the LCMR. A copy of the appropriate ranking sheet is enclosed. <br /> <br />If you desire additional information regarding your current application or would like <br />assistance on a future applicatio% please contact the Parks and Recreation Grants Section <br />of this office at (6]2) 290-4703. <br /> <br />We thank you for your interest in these programs and are sorry that your application did <br />not rank high enough for further consideration this year. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Parks & F~ecreation Grants Section <br /> <br />AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER <br /> <br /> <br />
