Board pledges $10,000 matching funds for conservation master plan grant
Summary
The board approved $10,000 in matching support for Marshall County Conservation's $50,000 facility master-plan grant application to the Martha Ellen Tye Foundation, pending the foundation board's approval.
Marshall County Conservation Director Emily Herring asked the board for $10,000 in matching funds to complete a $50,000 facility master plan. Herring said the conservation department has secured $30,000 and sought the remaining $20,000; she requested the county provide half ($10,000) from economic development funds to meet the foundation’s application requirements.
Herring said the Martha Ellen Tye Foundation would review letters of intent and notify applicants by mid-August whether they may submit a full grant application; Herring also described plans to survey park users in multiple formats and languages as part of the planning process.
A supervisor moved to approve $10,000 in matching support pending approval by the Martha Ellen Tye Foundation board; the board voted unanimously to provide the match from the county’s economic development funds.
