The U.S. Department of the Interior's National Park Service awarded a $284,244.96 Project Grant to the American Samoa Government Department of Parks & Recreation (ASDPR) under the Outdoor Recreation Acquisition, Development and Planning program (CFDA 15.916). The grant funding, which commenced on October 1, 2024, will support four key components for executing the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) program in American Samoa over the next three years through September 30, 2027. These components include purchasing a vehicle to conduct LWCF obligations, providing personnel compensation, and acquiring necessary equipment and supplies. The grant aims to ensure that ASDPR, which currently manages over five LWCF grants, can approve and complete each grant project within the specified award duration. The grant will enable ASDPR to improve the implementation of the LWCF program and expand outdoor recreational opportunities throughout the territory.
