Council member clarifies terms of park grant

To The Eagle:

I would like to clarify an article dated November 19, 2015 regarding the Port District 1 plans for the decommissioned town sewer lagoons. The Town of Cathlamet has received a grant from the National Park Service for rivers, trails and conservation assistance. According to Dan Miller, NPS, you can estimate that this award is roughly $10,000-$15,000 per year or $20,000 to $30,000 over two years. Most projects like this take approximately two years.

To the best of my knowledge, this grant is for technical and funding assistance, not construction.
