Opportunity Summary:
The Recovery Act - Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse Outstanding Natural Area Stabilization and Infrastructure Improvements (TAS 14 1112) grant opportunity was a U.S. Department of the Interior effort, administered through the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), to fund targeted preservation and visitor infrastructure work at the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse Outstanding Natural Area. Backed by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), the main purpose was to deliver economic stimulus by putting people to work quickly, supporting job creation and retention, and investing in public-land infrastructure while also strengthening the condition and usability of an important public site within BLM's National System of Public Lands.
The project focus combined two priorities that often overlap at high-traffic heritage destinations: protecting irreplaceable historic and cultural resources and improving the on-the-ground facilities needed to safely manage growing visitation. The announcement emphasizes stabilizing and safeguarding resources connected to the lighthouse, described as an iconic regional landmark, while also making practical upgrades that would help accommodate increasing numbers of regional, national, and international visitors. In practical terms, the funded work was positioned to improve site infrastructure, enhance public safety, and support more effective interpretation, meaning visitors would not only have better facilities but also a clearer, more engaging understanding of the site's cultural and historic significance. Another stated aim was to continue building collaborative partnerships at the Outstanding Natural Area, suggesting the work was intended to be implemented in coordination with local or nonprofit partners already engaged in stewardship and public programming.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this was a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the federal agency expected to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $442,950, and that figure also served as the award ceiling. The award floor was listed as $1. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which lowered barriers for eligible applicants and supported the Recovery Act goal of moving money into projects efficiently.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofits with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The funding activity category fell under Natural Resources, and the CFDA listing was 15.225, Recreation Resource Management, aligning the project with public-land recreation and visitor service objectives in addition to preservation outcomes. Key dates show the opportunity posted on January 7, 2010, with an original closing date of February 7, 2010, later extended to February 17, 2010; it was archived March 19, 2010. Applicants were directed to Grants.gov for the full announcement, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Velvette Clayton, Grants Officer, reachable at vclayton@blm.gov.
