The Upper Delaware Council is now accepting applications for its 2009 Technical Assistance Grants program. Applications are due July 3.

 

Since the non-profit organization’s inception in 1988, the UDC has awarded $639,692 to help subsidize 180 non-construction projects related to implementation of the River Management Plan for the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River.

 

Eligible to participate are the UDC’s eight New York town members, five Pennsylvania township members, and their encompassing counties. Buckingham and Manchester Townships in Wayne County, PA could also apply if they joined the Council.

 

The UDC’s Project Review Committee will convene a special meeting on August 11, at 6:30 p.m. at the Council’s Narrowsburg office to review the TAG submissions. Each applicant must send a representative to that meeting to explain the proposed project and answer any questions.

 

Announcement of grant awards is expected at the September 3, monthly UDC meeting to be held at 7:30 p.m. at the Council’s office in Narrowsburg.
