Rule Timeline Adopted.png

Background

Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) is accepting public comments on proposed changes to the Oregon administrative rules for its Local Government Grant Program. The proposed changes include increasing grant award amounts, updating definitions, and updating administrative processes. After reviewing public comments, agency staff will present a final amended rule for consideration by the Oregon State Parks and Recreation Commission at a business meeting.

The Local Government Grant Program, created after the passage of Measure 76, has awarded over $90 million in grant funding to local governments in Oregon for parks, trails and other outdoor recreation facilities since the program began in 1999.
