Duck Creek Phase 3 Lake Michigan Coastal grant withdrawn after NOAA denies conservation easement
Summary
The Hobart board was told the Duck Creek Phase 3 Lake Michigan Coastal Program application was withdrawn after NOAA denied a required conservation easement; staff plan to pursue alternate grant opportunities next year.
Tim Kingsland informed the Hobart Sanitary District that the Duck Creek Phase 3 proposal had advanced initially but the Lake Michigan Coastal Program grant application had to be withdrawn after the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration denied the conservation easement required for the project area.
Kingsland said staff will look for alternative grant opportunities next year to fund Phase 3. The denial of the conservation easement required by NOAA was the determinative issue cited in the meeting record.
The withdrawal leaves Phase 3 without the Lake Michigan Coastal Program funding source for now; Kingsland indicated the city will pursue other funding routes in the next grant cycle.
