Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "RECOVERY ACT Yaquina Head Outstand Natural Area Wayside Exhibits" (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00025) was a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It focused on a single project at the Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area (YHONA), a unit within the National Landscape Conservation System. The site is best known for the Yaquina Head Lighthouse, a structure listed on the National Historic Register, and the project was designed to strengthen the visitor experience by improving how the area tells its natural and cultural stories.
At its core, the funding was meant to support the development or installation of wayside exhibits that would enhance interpretation and education at YHONA. These exhibits were intended to inform visitors about the natural resources and cultural history associated with lands and waters managed by the BLM, as well as resources connected to partner-managed areas. In practical terms, the project aim was to make the on-site educational and interpretive program stronger and clearer for the public, likely through upgraded signage or interpretive panels placed at key viewpoints or visitor gathering areas.
This opportunity was also explicitly tied to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). Beyond the interpretive improvements, the announcement framed the project as part of broader Recovery Act goals: supporting economic recovery, helping communities and workers most affected by the recession, and investing in environmental protection and infrastructure expected to yield long-term economic benefits. In other words, it was not only a public-education project but also a stimulus-funded effort meant to generate near-term economic activity (such as design, fabrication, installation, or related services) while improving public infrastructure at a high-profile coastal visitor destination.
The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates the federal agency anticipated substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The total estimated funding was $95,000, with an award ceiling of $95,000 and an award floor listed as $1. The announcement expected to make one award, so it was structured as a single-project competition rather than a multi-award program. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
In terms of eligibility, the listing indicated "unrestricted" eligibility, meaning it was open to any type of entity, subject to any clarifications that may have appeared in the full announcement. The funding activity categories were listed under Community Development and Natural Resources, and the CFDA number provided was 15.225 (Recreation Resource Management), reflecting its alignment with public recreation, visitor services, and resource interpretation.
Key dates show it was posted and created on April 13, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 27, 2010, making it a short application window. The record shows an archive date of April 13, 2011. Applicants seeking more detail were directed to Grants.gov, and the point of contact for access issues was Pamella Sterling, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 503-808-6221 or pamsterling@blm.gov.
