Opportunity Summary:
This National Park Service funding notice (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0030, titled "Delaware") is not an open grant competition and not a request for applications. It is simply a public announcement that a single cooperative agreement award has already been designated to Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, to support ongoing work of the National Heritage Area (NHA). The program falls under CFDA 15.939 (National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance) and is categorized as a mandatory opportunity, meaning the recipient is predetermined rather than selected through a competitive process.
The purpose of the award is to help the NHA continue coordinating with a wide range of partners to conserve and protect important natural, cultural, and historic resources across the region, while also supporting economic opportunities for local communities. A central theme of the award is partnership-driven planning and implementation: strengthening collaboration among federal, state, and local governments, private sector stakeholders, and community organizations. The work is intended to help communities conserve their heritage in practical ways, integrate preservation priorities into broader public policy and land-use planning decisions, and expand opportunities for diverse public participation in resource protection activities.
The announcement outlines several core responsibilities for the cooperator under the cooperative agreement. The recipient must use the provided funds to support the NHA in a way that aligns with the enabling legislation and the FY2014 work plan, and must implement the NHA Management Plan consistent with the agreement terms and authorizing legislation. The recipient is also required to hold public meetings at least twice per year focused on Management Plan implementation, ensuring transparency and ongoing community involvement. In addition, the organization must comply with applicable state and federal laws, specifically including (but not limited to) the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Where required, the recipient must also prepare and submit compliance documents for review and approval by the National Park Service and/or the relevant state authorities.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $610,000, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $610,000, indicating a single fixed award amount. The notice also indicates that cost sharing or matching is required. Only one award is expected, consistent with the fact that this is a designated award announcement rather than an application-based opportunity. Key dates show the notice was posted and created on June 2, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 7, 2014, and an archive date of June 8, 2014, reflecting standard posting timelines rather than a period for competitive submissions.
