| Solicitation Profile |
This grant opportunity is being offered to enable eligible applicants to specifically implement Conservation Easement Projects with owners of viable agricultural lands that are associated with a dairy Farm Operation and are at risk of conversion to non-farm uses. Therefore, the acquisition of a perpetual agricultural conservation easement resulting from the sale of development rights associated with a Purchase of Development Rights (PDR) transaction would be possible under this Request For Applications (RFA) subject to the stipulations described elsewhere in this RFA (and summarized in “Match Contribution Requirements and Associated Stipulations” table in Section V D.).
Grant applications will be accepted on a continuous basis. The RFA will remain open and awards will be made until such time as available funds are fully committed, or the RFA is closed. |
