CANTON -- St. Lawrence County Snowmobile Association has been awarded $250,000 from round 13 of the Regional Economic Development Council Initiative.
The REDC will award $26.6 million to 72 projects as part of the Environmental Protection Fund, along with $2.4 million from the federally funded Recreational Trails Program, which will support 15 projects.
The grants for the Recreational Trails Program (RTP) will support two projects in the North Country, including the $250,000 grant for the county snowmobile association to fund a new groomer for the Childwold SnoPackers to use on the Remsen Lake Placid Railroad Corridor.
The St Lawrence County Snowmobile Association is made up of eight clubs in the county; Childwold Sno Packers, Colton Sno-Skippers Inc, Dairyland Snowmobile Club, Edwards Snowmobile Club, Grasse River Groomers, Heuvelton Punchlock Travelers, St Lawrence County Club, and TriTown Trailblazers.
The RTP is an assistance program with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration. In New York State, RTP is administered by the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP).
The RTP Grant Program supports matching grants to develop and maintain recreational trails and trail-related facilities for both motorized and non-motorized trail uses. Funds are awarded to municipalities or not-for-profits with an ownership interest.
