White Pine County is seeking to engage the community in generating ideas for proposals for Round 19 of the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act Grant funding Cycle. This grant has funded major projects that have benefited White Pine County in the past. Do you have an idea that involves parks, trails, and natural spaces and would benefit the quality of life and grow the economy? You are encouraged to fill out this questionnaire. The SNPLMA grant application is a tedious process and this questionnaire will hep answer a lot of questions and develop ideas to be as well thought out as possible. All ideas are welcome but only 3 proposals can be submitted. The community will have a chance to comment and vote on all ideas to show support or raise questions and concerns. Keep reading for more information on SNPLMA and how to get your ideas back to the county.
Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act (SNPLMA) provides for the orderly disposal of certain Federal lands in Clark County, Nevada, and expend the sale proceeds and other revenues for purposes identified in the Act. White Pine County is eligible for funding from SNPLMA through the Parks, Trails and Natural Areas (PTNA) category which allows “development of parks, trails, and natural areas in Clark, Lincoln, and White Pine Counties and Washoe County (subject to paragraph 4) and Carson City (subject to paragraph (5)), Nevada, pursuant to a cooperative agreement with a unit of local government or regional governmental entity;”. Nominations are limited to one well defined project location or site for PTNA. This means one campground, one park, one trail, etc. For more information on SNPLMA, please see https://www.blm.gov/programs/lands-and-realty/nevada/snplma. White Pine County is eligible to submit three (3) nominations for this funding per round. To ensure that the County is prepared for the next round of grant applications (round 19) to open up, we are requesting proposals from the community to be reviewed and then ultimately chosen from by the White Pine County Board of Commissioners to be submitted for nomination of SNPLMA PTNA round 19.
