This includes the purchase of scenic and conservation easements, development and construction of a trail head, logo development and interpretive signage, educational programs and community outreach for the future multimodal trail between Berlin, MD and the National Seashore. The purpose of the Assateague Gateway Trail project is to provide an overarching network through which to promote recreational opportunities, local heritage and natural resources of the coastal communities of the lower shore of Maryland.

FLAP Project Selection Process

Each FLAP project was selected from a pool of applications submitted by the facility owner in response to a state-wide call for projects. The applications were screened, rated, and ranked using PDC approved rating criteria. The PDC unanimously agreed which projects met the established State program goals and conformed with the project ranking criteria contained in the “Call for Projects SOP”. Based upon these evaluations, the proposed projects were recommended for programming within the available funding for each state. Memorandum of Agreements (MOA) were coordinated and executed for each programmed project prior to obligation of FLAP funds. There was one call for projects that generated 1 application totaling $544,058 funds requested.
