Grants to New York and Pennsylvania local governments in the Upper Delaware region to further goals from the regional land use management plan. Funding must be used for planning, research, other plan implementation activities associated with land use planning, zoning law revision, GIS planning, comprehensive and master plan updates, or the codification of laws.
Funding is for planning projects, and not for such activities as land acquisition, construction, or other “brick and mortar” capital improvement projects.
All proposals must relate directly to and support the implementation of the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River Final River Management Plan, including the assistance of UDC member towns and townships to reach substantial conformance requirements with or in furtherance of the plan.
Funding in general is limited to the following:
-Planning funds to prepare or upgrade a zoning ordinance or other relevant law, plan, or ordinance (i.e. floodplain, wetland, comprehensive plan, subdivision).
-Funding to publish such an ordinance.
-Funding to address a problem identified in the Plan for resolution.
-The preparation of educational materials and guides that assist in implementation of the Plan.
Estimated Total Program Funding:
All contracts or grants under this section for Fiscal Year 2018 must be agreed to and work started no later than October 1, 2017 (the beginning of Fiscal Year 2018). All legal commitments for Fiscal Year 2018 between the UDC and the grantees must be completed within 10-months by August 24, 2018.
