Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS NOIP19AP00019
The River Park Access Improvements - MISS opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP19AP00019) is a National Park Service notice of intent to award, issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is not an open call or a request for applications. Instead, it serves as formal public notice that the National Park Service intends to provide grant-based financial assistance for a specific set of project activities tied to improving access to the Mississippi River through River Park in Brooklyn Park. The funding is associated with CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) 15.941, and the opportunity category and activity category are both listed as "Other," with eligibility also described broadly as "Others" per the posting.
The project itself is driven by the City of Brooklyn Park and is included in the citys 5-year Capital Improvement Plan. The central goal is to better connect the community to the Mississippi River by improving the riverfront portion of River Park. The work focuses on practical, on-the-ground access improvements that make it easier for residents and visitors to reach and use the river safely and conveniently, whether they arrive on foot, by bicycle, or through other transportation options.
Planned activities include constructing about 1.01 miles of connecting trails to link River Park with the Mississippi Regional Trail, which is a key regional corridor for biking and walking. In addition to trail connections, the project includes building a boat launch designed specifically for non-motorized watercraft, supporting low-impact recreation such as kayaking and canoeing. A Paddle Share station is also part of the plan, allowing people to rent kayaks on-site, lowering the barrier for individuals who do not own equipment but want to experience the river.
The stated public purpose is to expand and improve public access to both the Mississippi River and River Park, especially by strengthening connections from established regional trails into the park and to the water. By doing so, the project is intended to benefit not only local Brooklyn Park residents but also people from across the region. The notice emphasizes that this section of the Mississippi River would be reachable through multiple modes of travel, including bike access via trail networks, on-water access via the boat launch and kayak rentals, and continued access by public transit and automobiles.
From an administrative standpoint, the posting lists an anticipated single award with an award ceiling of $362,000. The notice was created on July 9, 2019, with an original closing date of July 19, 2019, reflecting the typical timing of a notice of intent to award rather than a competitive application window.Apply for NPS NOIP19AP00019
