Opportunity Summary:
The grant notice titled "Future Industrial Needs Discovery (FIND) Sustainable Development - Community Needs" (Funding Opportunity Number NV NOI080016) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding action intended to support a specific local economic development and resource management effort in Lander County, Nevada. Importantly, the announcement is not a call for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that BLM planned to fund certain project activities through a cooperative agreement without full and open competition, meaning the agency had an identified project partner or set of partners in mind rather than running a broad, competitive solicitation.
At its core, the FIND project focuses on planning for life after mining by taking stock of existing mine sites and related infrastructure and then using that information to help communities identify and market practical secondary industrial uses once mining activity declines or ends. The work centers on creating an inventory of mine sites and their associated assets (such as roads, power, water systems, buildings, or other facilities tied to mining operations). This inventory is meant to help local communities and decision-makers understand what resources already exist on the ground and how those assets might be repurposed in ways that support sustainable economic activity, appropriate land management, and long-term community stability.
The project was developed by the Northern Nevada Gold Belt Coalition through Lander County's Sustainable Development Committee, and it formalized partnership roles with the Lander Economic Development Authority and the University of Nevada Cooperative Extension Service for Lander County. These partners were expected to contribute a mix of funding, manpower, and technical expertise. The cooperative agreement structure signals that BLM anticipated an active collaboration with the partner organization(s), rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. In practice, that typically means ongoing coordination, shared responsibilities, and progress oversight tied to agreed-upon deliverables.
The geographic focus is Lander County, with emphasis on mining sites that are strategically located within the county's "economic sphere of influence." The notice frames these sites as important to the broader local system that supports housing, social infrastructure, goods, and services. In other words, mining is presented not just as an isolated industry but as a key driver of community viability; when mining changes, the ripple effects can reach local jobs, public services, and the businesses that rely on mining-related activity. By planning secondary uses for post-mining sites, the project aims to reduce economic disruption and create pathways for continued industrial or community-supporting activity, which the notice describes as critical to maintaining healthy economic communities in Lander County.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted May 30, 2008, with an original and current closing date of June 13, 2008, and an archive date of June 23, 2008. It listed a single expected award with total estimated funding of $134,000, with both the award floor and ceiling set at $134,000, indicating a fixed anticipated award amount rather than a range. No cost sharing or matching was required. Eligibility was limited to county governments, aligning with the local planning and community development nature of the work. The funding activity category was Natural Resources, and it referenced CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), reflecting BLM's broader mission areas and the link between land stewardship and sustainable community outcomes.
For access issues or questions, the notice provided a point of contact: Susan Kaller, Grants and Agreements Specialist at BLM, with a listed phone number (775-861-6559) and email (skaller@blm.gov).
