Mike gave an update on the 319 Grant application by the Land Trust Group. He feels it is an excellent project. Steve Thompson from Gooding SCD is also working on putting together a project on a dairy north of Gooding. He emphasized again that there are other funding sources available to apply for. 319 grants are due by March 1, 2001.
Time is essential because it takes a lot of time to put the projects together.
Vernon is still looking at a project at his power plant but he has other things ahead of it. Mike said there is a project in the Walcott region and three possibilities in the Mid-Snake. He feels only one may make it in on time. 319 grant projects are a whole year out on funding. Bob stated that there are several projects in the planning stages.
