Opportunity Summary:
The City of Ridgefield Overlook Committee opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FWS R1 RIDGENWR 11 001) is a discretionary grant announced by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) as a Notice of Intent to award. It supports a collaborative community effort in Ridgefield, Washington to develop a new community park called Overlook Park. The central purpose of the project is to create a park in the city center that permanently protects and preserves the public view overlooking the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge, tying community recreation and public space improvements directly to long-term conservation and scenic protection.
Funding for this effort is being provided by the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge as a contribution to a larger park grant that is administered by the City of Ridgefield. In other words, the refuge is helping fund a broader city-led park development project rather than running the entire project independently. The announcement indicates the expected outcome is the construction and development of Overlook Park, with particular emphasis on ensuring the park functions as a lasting viewpoint and gateway to understanding the refuge and its landscape.
A notable component of the grant is interpretive and educational content. FWS is not only providing financial support but also committing to ongoing involvement through regularly scheduled meetings and technical assistance. That assistance is specifically aimed at making sure interpretive media within the park, such as informational panels, exhibits, and artwork, are complete, accurate, and reflective of the history of the Ridgefield NWR lands. This suggests the project is designed to do more than build a park; it is also intended to help visitors understand the refuge, the land’s background, and its significance through well-vetted public interpretation.
The opportunity is structured as a grant with a single expected award. The total funding amount is fixed, with both the award floor and award ceiling listed as $50,000, meaning the grant is intended to be issued at that amount rather than within a range. Cost sharing or matching is required, so the recipient is expected to contribute additional resources beyond the federal share, which fits with the description that this funding is part of a larger grant package administered by the city. The eligible applicant category is limited to city or township governments, aligning with the City of Ridgefield’s role as administrator and lead local partner.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted and created on December 7, 2010, with an original closing date of December 14, 2010, later extended to December 21, 2010, and archived on January 13, 2011. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.649 (Service Training and Technical Assistance, Generic Training), which matches the emphasis on FWS participation and technical support, particularly around interpretive and educational deliverables. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed contact was Eric Anderson at the Fish and Wildlife Service (360-887-4106, ericanderson@fws.gov).
