Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson expects to award approximately $1.8 million for §306/306A coastal projects funding Grant Cycle #18. The pre-proposal deadline is June 20, 2012. Submission of the pre-proposal is only required if you would like written comments on your pre-proposal. The final application deadline is September 26, 2012, with a proposed project start date of October 2013.
The Commissioner will accept applications for both construction and non-construction projects that address any of the following funding categories:
• Coastal Natural Hazards Response
• Critical Areas Enhancements
• Public Access
• Waterfront Revitalization and Ecotourism Development
• Permit Streamlining/Assistance, Governmental Coordination and Local Government Planning Assistance
• Water Sediment Quantity and Quality Improvements
The local match requirement remains at 40 percent of total project cost for this cycle. Match may be in the form of a "cash" match or an "in-kind" match or a combination of both. (Federal funds, received directly or passed-through by a state agency, cannot be used as match.)
For on-the-ground habitat protection, restoration, and land acquisition projects, Commissioner Patterson will consider funding individual large-scale project up to $400,000. For other types of eligible §306/306A projects, the Commissioner will fund individual small-scale projects up to $100,000. The commissioner will accept applications for both construction and non-construction projects that address the funding categories.
The requirements to receive federal grant funds are outlined in the CMP Cycle #18 Grant Guidance and Application document available online. This year, Commissioner Jerry Patterson will sponsor three grant workshops to give potential applicants an opportunity to discuss project ideas and hear about changes made to the grant program. These workshops will be beneficial for local, regional and state governments, nonprofits and public universities. Attendance for new applicants and project managers is highly recommended
