The Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership (ORLP) program can fund acquisition and/or development projects. Target projects will create or reinvigorate parks and other outdoor recreation spaces located in Census-delineated urbanized areas. Specifically, the program is intended for areas located within jurisdictions delineated by the Census Bureau from the 2010 Census as urbanized areas. These areas will have a population of 50,000 or more with high density. Further, the program targets projects located in or directly accessible to neighborhoods or communities that are underserved in terms of parks and recreation resources and its population is economically disadvantaged. |

The administrative requirements of LWCF apply to ORLP, including no less than a 50% match of the total project cost. This means that grant can fund up to, but not more than, 50% of the total project cost. Given that a project start date could potentially be determined in 2023 if selected for funding, the match source(s) should be expendable from 2023 through project completion. |
