Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "The Last Green Valley, Inc." (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0013) is a mandatory National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement announcement, not an open competitive grant and not a request for applications. In other words, NPS is publicly documenting that it has met a legally required obligation to make an award to a specific organization, The Last Green Valley, Inc., which is the nonprofit partner associated with the Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Valley National Heritage Corridor (often referred to as "The Last Green Valley") spanning parts of Connecticut and Massachusetts.
The purpose of the cooperative agreement is to support The Last Green Valley, Inc. in carrying out on-the-ground heritage corridor work in collaboration with the State of Connecticut, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, local communities, organizations, and residents within the corridor. The scope described is broad and centers on protecting and showcasing the region's historic and cultural assets while also promoting compatible recreation, stewardship, and community-based planning. Key activities include preserving and interpreting historic resources; helping develop recreational programs and related resources; preserving and ensuring appropriate use of lands and structures; expanding public awareness and appreciation of the corridor's historical and architectural sites; establishing and maintaining visitor centers or other interpretive exhibits; restoring historic buildings; encouraging appropriate economic and industrial development that aligns with heritage and landscape values; promoting local land use policies consistent with the corridor's management goals; and assisting state and local government entities with signage that marks access points and sites of interest throughout the corridor.
From an administrative standpoint, the award is issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a more hands-on partnership relationship with the federal agency compared to a standard grant, including substantial NPS involvement in coordination, planning, or oversight. The opportunity is tied to CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 15.939, National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance. It anticipates a single award, with total estimated funding of $131,335; the award ceiling and floor are both listed as $131,335, reinforcing that the funding amount and recipient are effectively predetermined. The announcement also states that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal funds, in-kind services, or other eligible match resources as part of the overall project financing structure (specific match ratios or requirements are not detailed in the text provided).
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), but the repeated emphasis that this is not a request for applications clarifies that the eligibility category is largely informational and does not signal an open application process. The posting date is December 24, 2014, with an original and current closing date of December 29, 2014, and an archive date of December 30, 2014, reflecting a short public notice window typical of announcements that document a required, already-directed award rather than soliciting proposals.
