OSMB Grant Awarded to Jackson County for Emigrant Lake Boarding Docks
The Oregon State Marine Board has approved a state facility grant for the Jackson County Parks Department.
Jackson County Parks can now proceed with replacing and installing self-adjusting boarding docks at Emigrant Lake near Ashland.
At an April 24th meeting in Astoria, the State Marine Board approved a $51,250 boating facility grant combined with an applicant match of $233,750 for a total project cost of $285,000.
A total of seven facility grant applications were received for the agency's Cycle 2 grant opportunity. The grant applications identified $2.6 million in project needs and applicants requested $1,547,500 from the agency's funding for the 2023-25 biennium.
The Board conditionally approved the projects where Waterway Access Grant dollars were requested. The agency will be asking the Oregon Legislative E-Board for more spending limitation of available funds for the conditionally approved projects.
The agency says it will focus on improving customer service and seeking approval to increase waterway access funding to meet the volume of requests.
