For Your Information:

I am forwarding the Governor’s announcement of the Round 18 Request For Applications for Farmland Protection Implementation Grants (FPIG) to request that you share it with owners of commercial horse boarding operations or commercial equine operations to whom you may communicate.  After reviewing this grant opportunity, I hope that they will consider submitting an application through an eligible applicant (i.e., a county, a municipality, a soil and water conservation district, or a not-for-profit conservation organization – called a “land trust”).

Thank you for your consideration.
