Summary

The Secretary can increase rehabilitation or innovation grants by matching whatever a State pays, dollar-for-dollar, when the State’s share is up to 15% of the project cost. The federal share still cannot be more than 85% of the total project cost. The Secretary must ask States to help make sure local park and recreation recovery plans are actually carried out. States should work with the Secretary to monitor local plans and, when appropriate, make sure those plans match state outdoor recreation policies in statewide plans.
