Opportunity Summary:
This National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity, titled "The Last Green Valley, Inc." (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0010), supports work in the Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Valley National Heritage Corridor (NHC), a congressionally established heritage area created in 1994 under Public Law 103-449 and later amended by Public Law 106-149. The overarching purpose of the corridor is to help Connecticut and Massachusetts, along with their local and regional governments, organizations, and residents, develop and carry out coordinated programs that manage and protect the region's natural, cultural, historic, scenic, recreational, and related resources. The corridor is also intended to retain, enhance, and interpret the notable landscapes, waterways, buildings, and history that define the Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Valley area, commonly known as "The Last Green Valley."
The grant is structured as a cooperative agreement (a federal assistance instrument that typically involves substantial involvement by the agency) and falls under activity categories tied to education, the environment, and natural resources. The program objectives emphasize on-the-ground preservation and public-facing interpretation. Specific priorities include preserving and interpreting historic resources; supporting the development of recreational programs and facilities; preserving land and ensuring appropriate use of lands and structures; expanding public awareness and appreciation of the corridor's historic and architectural sites; establishing and maintaining visitor centers and interpretive exhibits; restoring historic buildings; encouraging economic and industrial development that fits the character and goals of the corridor; promoting land-use policies by local governments that align with corridor management objectives; and helping state and local entities install signage that identifies access points and sites of interest throughout the heritage corridor.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $325,000, with both the award ceiling and award floor set at $325,000, indicating a single award at a fixed amount. One award was expected. The assistance is associated with CFDA 15.939 (National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance) and includes a cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants are nonprofits with 501(c)(3) IRS status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, an important detail is that this posting is not an open solicitation for new applications. It is described as an announcement of an award that has already been made, meaning the listed open and close dates (posted March 8, 2013; closing April 6, 2013; archived April 7, 2013) reflect the historical record for the award notice rather than an active opportunity to compete for funding.
