Opportunity Summary:
The Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0054) is a National Park Service notice that a cooperative agreement award has already been made, not an open call for proposals. In other words, there is no application process tied to this announcement; it serves as public documentation that federal assistance funding has been awarded to the Hudson River Valley Greenway Communities Council / The Greenway Heritage Conservancy HRV Inc., which is identified as the managing entity for the Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area (NHA). The assistance is listed under CFDA 15.939, National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance, and it includes a cost sharing or matching requirement.
The award is a single expected award with a total value of $491,000. The funding level is fixed, with both the award ceiling and award floor set at $491,000, indicating the amount was predetermined for this specific recipient and scope of work. The opportunity is categorized as mandatory and uses a cooperative agreement instrument, which typically implies substantial involvement or collaboration by the federal agency (here, the National Park Service) during implementation, rather than a more hands-off grant structure. The announcement was posted and created on June 2, 2015, carried an original and current closing date of June 11, 2015 (reflecting administrative posting timelines rather than a competitive deadline), and was archived on June 12, 2015.
The purpose of the funded work centers on implementation and oversight responsibilities connected to the Hudson River Valley NHA management framework. The recipient is responsible for implementing the NHA Management Plan in accordance with the cooperative agreement and the authorizing legislation, as further detailed in an attached work plan and budget (referenced as Attachment A). In addition to plan implementation, the managing entity must hold public meetings at least twice a year to discuss progress and ongoing implementation of the Management Plan, ensuring regular public engagement and transparency.
A major component of the work also involves regulatory compliance. The recipient must comply with all applicable state and federal requirements, explicitly including the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Beyond general compliance, the organization must prepare any necessary compliance documentation for review and approval by the National Park Service and/or the relevant state authorities, which can include documentation used to evaluate environmental impacts, effects on historic properties, and related consultation or review processes.
Although the eligibility field mentions nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), the announcement repeatedly clarifies that eligibility is not functionally relevant here because the award has already been made to the named managing entity. For questions or difficulty accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, at 215-597-9153.
