Submitted by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) will offer $3 million in grant funding to improve motorized boat access at public facilities across the state. “Ohio has experienced record-breaking boat registrations and boating facility usage the past year,” said ODNR Director Mary Mertz. “The Cooperative Boating Facility grant will provide much-needed funding for our community partners to make important investments for local boating facilities.” Managed by ODNR’s Division of Parks and Watercraft, the Cooperative Boating Facility grant is a competitive grant program offering 100% reimbursement to eligible political subdivisions, such as municipalities, townships, counties, joint recreational districts, park districts, and conservancy districts, and state and federal agencies.
