The Local Government Grant Program Advisory Committee will conduct a series of virtual meetings Feb. 2-5 to hear from grant applicants and rank proposed parks and recreation projects around the state. The meetings will be conducted via Zoom and are open to the public.

Applicants to the Local Government Grant Program (LGGP) will present their proposed projects to the committee for review. The committee will evaluate and score all applications and create a priority ranking list of projects to be funded. The priority ranking list will be forwarded to the Oregon Parks and Recreation Commission for final review and approval.

• Feb. 3: 8 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.

The LGGP provides grant assistance for public park and outdoor recreation areas and facilities. Eligible LGGP applicants include cities, counties, park and recreation districts and port districts. The LGGP Advisory Committee consists of 10 volunteer members who represent various constituents across the state.

The program was established in 1998 under the Parks and Natural Resources Fund. The program is funded by a portion of Oregon Lottery dollars and administered by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD).
