FRANKFORT, KY - Gov. Steve Beshear today announced 17 Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) grants to help fund recreational and tourism projects in communities throughout Kentucky. The Department for Local Government (DLG) will administer the grants, totaling nearly $700,000.



"Parks and recreational facilities play an important part in enhancing the quality of life in our Kentucky communities," Gov. Beshear said. "This LCWF funding will go toward improving recreational projects in towns across the Commonwealth and provide children and residents of all ages with safe, quality spaces to be active, play sports and live overall healthier lifestyles."
R The LWCF is a grant matching reimbursement program for the development and maintenance of public outdoor recreation areas and facilities, such as campgrounds, sports and playfields, swimming and fishing areas, boating facilities and trails.

Funding for this program is allocated to DLG by the National Park Service, which is part of the U.S. Department of Interior. Cities, counties, state and federal agencies are eligible to apply.

Fiscal year 2014 applicants that have been approved for LWCF grants are on the linked chart.
