Explanation:
Broward Boating Improvement Programs (BBIP), a Broward County grant program, has grant funding available to local governments for the improvement of public navigation, recreation and boating projects.
The CRA and City of Hollywood Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts desires to apply for the FY 2017 Broward Boating Improvement Program grant to cover half of the estimated $200,000.00 cost for design work, engineering and permitting costs for a linear boating park along the Intracoastal near Hollywood Boulevard.
The boating park will be located along the Intracoastal stretching from Arizona Street south to Azalea Street and will include a day dock, doggie park, a wide meandering pedestrian walkway, artwork, shade sails, lighting and landscaping.
The BBIP grant requires a one to one match from the local government receiving the grant. Funding for this purpose is available in the CRA's FY 2016 budget in account number 63.0100.16829.552.006301 - A1A Linear Park and will be transferred to an account to be established by the City's Department of Financial Services.
