This funding opportunity provides financial support to state and local governments in Arizona for projects that improve recreational facilities and safety on lakes where motorized boats are permitted.
Description
The State Lake Improvement Fund (SLIF), established by the Arizona State Legislature in 1960, is designed to support state and local government initiatives for projects on Arizona's water bodies where gasoline-powered boats are allowed. Administered by the Arizona State Parks Board, with assistance from the Grants and Trails Team, SLIF has $5.2 million allocated for project funding in fiscal year 2024. The fund aims to enhance recreational and safety aspects of Arizona's lakes, with eligible projects ranging from the development of new boat launches and support facilities to the procurement of watercraft, trailers, and safety equipment such as radios, lights, and first aid supplies.
