LOS ANGELES (CNS) - The U.S. Department of the Interior today announced $150 million in grant funding for outdoor recreation spaces and parks in underserved communities, which a Southland congresswoman said is critical to Los Angeles County.
Rep. Nanette Diaz Barragan, D-Los Angeles, sent a letter to President Joe Biden in January urging him to overturn a decision by the Trump administration to divert the Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership program s funding to other uses. The program, which is provided through the Land and Water Conservation Fund and provides funding for urban parks in areas that don t have equal access to outdoor recreation, was reinstated on Feb. 11 by the Department of the Interior.
