Note: The department and DNR will jointly solicit grant applications from county land conservation committees under ss. 92.14, 281.65, and 281.66, Stats. The department and DNR will distribute grant application forms as soon as possible prior to January 31 of each year, for return by April 15 of that year. The department and DNR will prepare a joint allocation plan after reviewing county grant applications. The department and DNR will make annual grant allocations after obtaining LWCB recommendations on their draft allocation plan.
Before it distributes grant application forms to the counties, the department will consult with county representatives regarding the department's potential funding priorities. The department will then give notice to all counties of its potential priorities when it distributes grant applications to the counties. The department may modify its potential priorities based on the actual grant applications that the counties submit.
Note: The department establishes priorities for funding based on the criteria in s. ATCP 50.30.
