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 Comprehensive Outdoor <br />Recreation Plan. Those factors included site suitability~ location/accessibility, park design, <br />interorganizational cooperation, 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 year, only 13 can be recommended for $1.2 million in available <br />funds. Unfortunately, your application did not rank high enough to 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 proiects are derived from appropriations made <br />by the U.S. Congress through the LAWCON program and by the State Legislature through <br />the LC;MR. A copy of the appropriate ranking sheet is enclosed. <br /> <br />If you desire additional information regarding your current application or would tike <br />assistance on a future application, please contact the Parks and Recreation Grants Section <br />of this office at (612) 296-4705. <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 & Recreation Grants Section <br /> <br />/pb <br />1/12-CP <br /> <br />AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER <br /> <br /> <br />
