This is the first in a trio of grants we are going after this year and next to develop Bella
Vista Bay Park. The other two are the Waterways Assistance Program ($200,000) and
Land & Water Conservation Fund ($200,000). These funds, along with another $400,000
we are seeking thru Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program (FRDAP) and
Safe Neighborhood Parks (SNP) will put us in a position to complete the initial
infrastructure improvements to the seawall, docks and site work.

April, 2010 and funds available in August, 2010. Grant funds must be expended within

maximum grant is $60,000.
FUNDING SOURCE:
The other grants can be used as the source of matching funds.
