Grant Funds Available for Roads That Provide Access to Minnesota Public Recreation Facilities

By Gail Leverson, MBA, EDFP - Senior Funding Specialist September 19, 2022
 The State Park Road Account Program (SPRA) has $4 million available statewide for 2023 projects. SPRA funds exist to establish or improve county, township, and city roads that provide access to state parks, state trails, state forests, public water accesses, and other state designated outdoor recreation sites.
 
Counties, townships, and city governments are eligible to apply.
 
SPRA funds can be used for up to 100% of construction and right-of-way acquisition costs. Engineering fees are paid by the local unit of government.
 
Priority will be given to projects that enhance access to outdoor recreation facilities, address safety issues, and include additional cost sharing by local government.
 

The deadline to apply is November 1, 2022. Grant awards will be announced in April 2023. Get your project started today.

 

Widseth’s Funding Department can help get the application process started. Find details at State Park Road Account Program (SPRA) | Minnesota DNR, and contact Widseth’s Gail Leverson to learn more.

 

The Widseth team has helped communities secure more than $350 million to fund essential projects. We will develop a professional, persuasive, and customized request for your State Park Road Account application.
