RE: Navarre boat ramp fee
BP
I'm wondering if we've exhausted our resources before implementing user end fees.
Here's a few ideas I've researched that might help our community.
Florida's Waterfront Partnership Program. The purpose if this program is specifically designed to help communities develop their waterfront properties.
CDBG. Community Development Block Grants. Every year, Congress appropriates monies to states for waterfront development.
NOAA runs two grant programs for public access to state shores. States can apply and receive fundingspecifically designated forland acquisitions. Overseen by the Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management through its Coastal Zone Management Program.
The EPA has a program called the Sustainable Development Challenge Grant Program. The grants range from $50,000 to $250,000. The money given through this programare designed for conservation and development of waterfront projects.
And finally, Non Profit and Private Partnership Programs. Together with local businesses, money can be raised to sponsor waterfront property development.
