The federal Project Grant award of $1,214,337.00 from the National Park Service's Outdoor Recreation Acquisition, Development and Planning program (CFDA 15.916) will fund the addition of three full-time staff members to the Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation to manage and increase awareness of the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) program across the state. The award, effective from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2029, aims to enhance the state's capacity to apply for, close, and manage LWCF grants, as well as promote greater LWCF program visibility. The project supports the state's efforts to preserve natural spaces, enhance public access to recreation, and strengthen community recreational infrastructure through LWCF-funded initiatives.
