DNR Coastal Program accepting pre-proposals for 2011 grants
The DNR’s Lake Michigan Coastal Program (LMCP) will accept pre-proposals for the 2011 Coastal Grants Program Funding Cycle until Sept. 27.
Pre-proposals that receive favorable recommendation from the Coastal Advisory Board will then be eligible for full application submission. Funding, where granted, will be available in July 2011.
Three grant workshops will be held:
–Thursday, Aug. 26, 10 a.m. CDT, in Portage, at Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission, 6100 Southport Road

The Lake Michigan Coastal Grants Program is an annual competitive grants program that awards up to $650,000 to units of local government, regional and state agencies, colleges and universities as well as to non-profit organizations. The program funds may be expended on low-cost construction, land acquisition, planning and coordination, education and outreach, and applied research projects. Projects must be located entirely within the Lake Michigan coastal area, which is the northern portion of Lake, Porter, and LaPorte counties.
The LMCP was created to coordinate efforts between local, state, and federal governments as well as those of local organizations, and to support projects that protect and restore natural, cultural and historical resources in Indiana’s Lake Michigan coastal region.
The LMCP is funded through the Department of Commerce’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Office of Coastal Resource Management.
