2016 ENRTF Proposals Received - by Funding Priority Topic Area

2016 Environment and Natural Resouces Trust Fund Proposals Received - by Funding Priority Topic Area

Below proposals are listed within funding priority topic areas in rank order based on preliminary staff evaluation.

In response to the 2016 Request for Proposal (RFP) due May 11, 186 proposals requesting a total of approximately $131 million were received. This RFP process is for funding available beginning July 1, 2016. For that period, approximately $46.3 million from the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund is currently expected to be available to recommend for project funding.

The LCCMR reviewed, evaluated, and ranked all proposals received. On September 16 the LCCMR selected 97 proposals requesting a total of approximately $70.4 million to invite in for a presentation before the Commission for further consideration. Proposal presentations are scheduled for September 29 and 30 and October 1, 6, 7 and 8.

This selection represents the first phase in narrowing the proposals received in response to the 2016 RFP into what will be recommended for funding to the 2016 Minnesota Legislature. Proposal presentations facilitate the LCCMR's next phase of consideration for reaching a decision on October 20 and 21 about which projects will be recommended.

Check the LCCMR schedule for the most up-to-date information on important process dates.
