Twenty-seven
different grants, totaling $5.2 million dollars, were awarded throughout the
state.
The
grants for boat ramps are designed to bring economic development opportunities
across the state by providing a steady flow of tourism and recreation.
They
fund projects like expanding dock and ramp space, constructing and improving
restroom facilities, and improving access roads and parking lots.
Funds
for these grants are derived largely from the federal Sport Fish Restoration –
Boat Access Program.
Federal
funds are collected when people buy fishing tackle and motor fuels, and from
import duties on tackle and yachts and Federal law requires that 15 percent of
the funds go to building and repairing boat ramps.
