Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "The Last Green Valley, Inc." (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 14 NERO 0018) is a National Park Service announcement describing a cooperative agreement award that has already been designated to The Last Green Valley, Inc. (TLGV). It is not an open competition and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the National Park Service is moving forward with a single expected award to TLGV for work associated with the National Heritage Corridor (NHC) mission and priorities.
The announcement identifies the award as a mandatory cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.939 (National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance). The total estimated funding is $493,012, and because the award ceiling and floor are both listed as $493,012, the notice effectively indicates a fixed award amount rather than a funding range. The posting and creation date are May 7, 2014, with an original and current closing date of May 13, 2014, and an archive date of May 14, 2014. Although it lists eligibility as 501(c)(3) nonprofits other than institutions of higher education, the document repeatedly clarifies that the award has already been designated specifically to TLGV, meaning other organizations were not being solicited to apply through this posting. A cost sharing or matching requirement is also noted, indicating the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources in addition to the federal amount, consistent with typical heritage area assistance structures.
In terms of purpose and scope, the agreement requires The Last Green Valley, Inc. to use the provided funds to support the NHC in a way that aligns with authorizing legislation and the organization’s annual workplans and budgets. The funded work spans multiple, interconnected program areas: environmental stewardship; economic development; cultural and community resources; natural resources and land use; agriculture; and recreation. The notice also emphasizes implementation approach and collaboration. TLGV is expected to include local governments, regional planning organizations, and nonprofit organizations in carrying out the approved management plan, reinforcing that the work is intended to be regionally coordinated and partnership-driven rather than executed in isolation.
The award conditions also stress compatibility between economic activity and heritage area purposes. TLGV is directed to encourage economic viability using appropriate means, but specifically in ways that remain consistent with the goals of the National Heritage Corridor. Finally, the notice highlights compliance obligations: TLGV must comply with all applicable state and federal laws, explicitly naming the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). These requirements signal that funded activities may involve projects or decisions that intersect with environmental review and historic or cultural resource considerations, and that the recipient must follow the relevant procedural and substantive protections when implementing projects.
