Priceville council approves resolution to pursue $1 million LWCF grant for $2.13 million project
Summary
The Priceville Town Council approved Resolution 2026-03 to update the appraised project value to $2,130,000 and request $1,000,000 in LWCF grant assistance after the National Park Service reviewed the town's paperwork, increasing eligible grant funds by about $40,000.
The Priceville Town Council on Monday approved Resolution 2026-03 to revise the total appraised value of a town-owned property and pursue $1,000,000 in Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) assistance toward a $2,130,000 project.
Mayor Hedland told the council the National Park Service reviewed the town's patent documents and asked the town to redo the resolution to reflect the full appraised value. "I did get the compliment today that said that our package was more complete than any package they had seen in the last couple of years," Hedland said, explaining the updated figure increases the town's eligible LWCF request from $960,000 to $1,000,000.
The resolution, presented by Mayor Hedland, was made, seconded and put to a vote; the council approved the measure. No further project-specific details (sites, phases, or contractor names) were provided during the discussion.
Why it matters: LWCF grants are competitive federal grants administered in partnership with the National Park Service that can fund parkland acquisition and outdoor recreation projects. Increasing the appraised project value allowed the town to request an additional roughly $40,000 in grant assistance under the LWCF request.
Next steps: The town will submit the revised resolution and supporting documents to the National Park Service as part of the LWCF application process. The council did not set a timeline in the meeting for grant-award decisions or project implementation.
