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.
$15,100
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.
Funding is limited to town/townships participating in the Upper Delaware Council and their respective county governments.

In New York, these include the Town of Hancock in Delaware County, and Towns of Fremont, Delaware, Cochecton, Tusten, Highland, and Lumberland in Sullivan County, and the Town of Deerpark in Orange County.
In Pennsylvania, members are the Townships of Berlin and Damascus in Wayne County, and Townships of Lackawaxen, Shohola, and Westfall in Pike County. The Delaware River Basin Commission is a non-voting member of the Council. The Wayne County Townships of Buckingham and Manchester are eligible to join the Council as voting members, but have not.
