Title
Action on Resolution 21-027, a Resolution in Support of Recreational Trails Fund Grant Application.
Body
Summary:
This Resolution provides the support required to complete a Recreational Trails Fund (RTF) Grant Application. This would allow funding at a 80/20 grant match level to develop an extension to the Hike/Bike Trail south of the Prairie Hills Development. This trail section is identified in the Bike Master Plan and would connect to the existing paths of the Prairie Hills development. Grant match funding was identified in the 2021 Budget.
Background:
The Recreational Trails Fund (RTF) is a federal grant program administered through South Dakota Game, Fish, and Parks. RTF provides grant funding for recreational trail projects in South Dakota. Eligible projects may include funding for trail maintenance or new trail development.
The City of Brookings has not received RTF funds in the last 10 years.
