Committee undecided on applying for RERC planning grant; deadline Oct. 16
Summary
The committee discussed the Recreation Economy for Rural Communities grant (Northern Border Regional Commission and U.S. EPA) that provides planning assistance; members were undecided about applying by the Oct. 16, 2024 deadline if the award is technical assistance only, and Olivia will follow up on funding availability and next cycles.
Committee members reviewed the Recreation Economy for Rural Communities (RERC) grant, a program from the Northern Border Regional Commission and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that provides planning assistance to help communities grow outdoor recreation economies. The committee noted the application deadline of Oct. 16, 2024, and expressed uncertainty about whether to apply if the award offers only technical assistance rather than funding.
Olivia Dwyer said she will follow up to determine if the grant includes funding or only technical support and to learn when the opportunity will next be available; several committee members suggested waiting until after the comprehensive plan is complete if the award is limited to planning assistance.
