A county grant is available through the Broward Boating Improvement Program (BBIP) to develop marine related facilities and amenities.
The proposed elements of the mooring facility set forth in the grant application include planning, engineering, design and permitting necessary to apply for a mooring field permit.
The Department of Parks Recreation and Cultural Arts desires to apply for this grant in the approximate amount of $150,000.00.
