LIP
|
The Department of Interior/USFWS announce the 2005 (fed fy '06) state LIP allowances yesterday. Once again Oregon was very successful in competing for Tier 2 (project funds). We received the maximum available, $755,000... ODFW will be releasing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for projects in the Willamette Valley and east Cascade ecoregions late this week or early next week. Good projects in other ecoregions will also be considered but they will have to compete against those in the two featured ecoregions. Since you are receiving this message, you will also be contacted when the RFP is released.
