Local governments in the 20 coastal counties will be given priority for a virtual workshop series next month to learn about grant opportunities on acquiring land and make improvements to beach and waterfront access, parks and boating facilities.
The workshop sessions scheduled for Jan. 21 and Jan. 26 will also show how to leverage funding from multiple grant sources, and work with funding agency representatives to help inform grant proposal development.
