Applications are requested from eligible government or non-government organizations or individuals within the State of New Hampshire for competitive consideration of awards for projects which need to be completed by December 31, 2007. This notice identifies the objectives for FRPP projects, the eligibility criteria for projects and associated instructions needed to apply for FRPP funds. This notice announces the availability of up to $35,000 of funds during fiscal year 2007 for the New Hampshire FRPP program. The State Conservationist reserves the right to not fund any or all proposals.
