Oak Ridge invited to submit full NRDA applications for Bissell and Solway park projects
Summary
The city has been invited to submit full Natural Resource Damage Assessment grant applications for two park projects after a successful pre‑application phase; the NRDA trustees made ~$10 million available in the first round from a $40 million pool, and the city requested roughly $8 million overall and faces a 20% local match requirement.
City staff told council Oak Ridge was invited to submit full applications for two NRDA (Natural Resource Damage Assessment) grants: projects at Bissell Park and Solway Park. John Hetrick and other staff will refine project timelines and budgets and meet with trustees to align the submissions with grant expectations.
“The grant manual is pretty specific about what their expectations are, and so we'll work very hard to meet that and put these projects forward,” John Hetrick said. Staff said trustees made about $10,000,000 available for the first round from a $40,000,000 pool and that the city applied for approximately $8,000,000 across the two projects. A 20% local match is required; staff indicated the city will pursue additional grant opportunities and had set aside some general fund monies as a contingency if necessary. Full applications are due by July 15, and staff will meet with the trustees before the end of May.
