Dear Supervisor Williams:
Thank you for your application under the Environmental Protection Fund Grant Program for Parks,
Preservation and Heritage (EPF) through the Regional Economic Development Councils (REDC) and the
Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) Round 11 Initiative.
The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) is proud to have
contributed $19.5 million to this year's CFA. I am pleased to inform you that a matching grant of up to
$500,000.00 has been reserved from the EPF for the Gutchess Lumber Park Development: Phase 2.
OPRHP recognizes the vital role that this project will play in enhancing the parks, environment, character,
quality of life, and economic vitality of your community, and we are delighted to be able to provide a grant
award for the project. OPRHP is grateful to the Governor and state legislators for their commitment to
funding this program year after year.
Our agency will contact you shortly to clarify the specifics about the project, including those elements of
the proposed scope and budget that have been accepted for funding, next steps, reimbursement terms,
minority and women -owned business hiring goals, employment requirements, environmental and historic
preservation review requirements, and other terms and conditions. I urge you to work closely with our
program staff and not to begin work on your project until appropriate contract conditions have been
satisfied.
If you applied for funding from other programs or other State agencies, you will receive information from
those programs/agencies separately.
Our Grants Office looks forward to working in partnership with you to expeditiously advance your project.
