Six projects in Skagit County and three in Island County have made the list of proposed Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program grants by the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office. Funding for these projects still needs to be appropriated by the State Legislature.
Excerpt: “The Recreation and Conservation Office has funded 46 projects in Skagit County since 1990, including $300,000 for the Kiwanis Park in Mount Vernon in 2007.
Grants for Skagit County projects that have made the provisional cut in 2009 total more than $7.1 million.”
