Federal Land and Water Conservation Funds
The federal Land and Water Conservation Fund Act was passed by Congress in September 1964, and became effective January 1965.
The Land and Water Conservation Fund grant program provides up to 50% reimbursement assistance for state and local government subdivisions (townships, villages, cities, counties, park districts, joint recreation districts, and conservancy districts) to for the acquisition, development, and rehabilitation of recreational areas.
Funding is issued to the state and it is at the state’s discretion how much of that funding will be made available for local government. Since the Land and Water Conservation Fund grant program became effective, the State of Ohio has received over $140 million.
Over half of this funding has been used for local parks projects.
