Good afternoon,
I am e-mailing you because you signed up for updates about funding programs available through the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO).
We have an exciting new opportunity: a one-time, $5 million grant program for deferred maintenance for local parks. This grant program is still under construction so we wanted to get
your thoughts on the policies that will guide the funding distribution in the new Local Parks Maintenance (LPM) <https://rco.wa.gov/grant/local-parks-maintenance-grants/> program.
Please send us your thoughts on project types, eligible activities, costs, as well as evaluation criteria for the program.
