Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR/WA Benton County Road Improvement Program (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00212) is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), intended to support Benton County road-related improvements tied to the goals of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act (CFDA 15.234). The funding flows through Title II of the Act, which is designed to help rural counties undertake restoration, maintenance, and stewardship work that occurs on federal lands or on non-federal lands when the work provides a clear benefit to federal lands. In practice, the program emphasizes practical, on-the-ground projects that maintain access, protect resources, and improve the condition and sustainability of infrastructure that supports federal land management.
The opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM is likely to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds. While the title highlights road improvement, the broader eligible use of Title II funds is tied to land and resource outcomes. These include reducing wildfire risk, especially in wildland-urban interface areas; restoring fish and wildlife habitat; and maintaining roads, recreation assets, and facilities. The road improvement focus typically aligns with needs like improving road conditions for safe access, reducing sediment or runoff impacts to streams, supporting emergency response and fire access, and ensuring federal land users can reach key areas without causing avoidable environmental damage.
Only county governments are listed as eligible applicants, and this specific announcement is framed around Benton County. The total estimated funding available under the announcement is listed as $500,000, with an award ceiling of $102,510 and an award floor of $1. The notice anticipates making 1 award. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should expect to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind resources, depending on the detailed terms in the full application package.
The opportunity was posted July 17, 2014, and the application deadline (current and original) was August 18, 2014. The listing shows an archive date of July 16, 2015, indicating this was a time-limited funding round rather than an open, ongoing program. Applicants were directed to download full instructions and the application package via the announcement’s application materials. For questions or technical issues accessing the full announcement, the contact listed was Jessica Clark at BLM (503-808-6226, j1clark@blm.gov).
