This review was made in accordance with state and <br />administrative rules and federal law. Representatives from this office, the <br />Department of Natural Resources, and the regional development commission serving <br />your area participated in the review. Factors taken into consideration in the <br />review and subsequent ranking included the outstanding natural and scientific <br />values of the project, its ability to provide multipurpose recreational oppor- <br />tunities, and the scarcity of familar facilities within the general vicinity. <br />Competition for the limited funds was very intense. Of the 247 applications <br />(valued at nearly $19 million) received this year, only 42 can be recommended <br />for $2.2 million in available funds. Unfortunately, your application did not <br />rank high enough to be recommended for further grant consideration this year. <br />As you may know, funds for recreation projects are derived from appropriations <br />made by the U.S. Congress through the LAWCON program, and the State Legislature <br />through the LCMR. Unfortunately, there are not enough dollars available to fund <br />all applications. A list of those projects recommended for FY1984 financial <br />assistance is available upon request. <br />DEC 5 1983 <br />CITY OF <br />LITTLE CANADA <br />AN EQUAL OPPOFYI UNL1Y l= MiPLOY[ R <br />
