With many competing projects that request was unsuccessful. More recently, Staff has spoken with Kevin Rousseau at MDOT about funding under the "Boating Infrastructure Grant" (BIG) Program and we have been informed that the City has been selected for a $100,000 BIG grant with a $33,333 match. This is more than double of what was requested in June. We will need to submit a new application by September 22, 2010. CDBG funds are available for this match.

As we discussed, the SHIP/BIG selection committee selected your project for a BIG Tier 1 grant It would make available $100,000 of USFWS BIG funds to be matched by $33,333 of municipal local match and would be very similar to the one we did a few years ago. The deadline that we have to submit to USFWS is September 22. in order for us to put forth your grant package to them, we will need a project statement Ned out by the City. I ve attached your old one as a guide. The one you put together should probably have a just lithe more detail than we had in 2006. We look forward to again working with you and helping to build a better Bangor waterfront. Very Respectfully, Kevin Rousseau Bureau of Transportation Systems Planning Maine Department of Transportation 16 State House Station Augusta, Maine 04333 (207) 6243565 (207) 6243099 flax kevin.rvusseau@main.= «BIG Bangor Narrative Statsmentdoc>>
