(WTAQ-WLUK) — Coastal communities across the state are getting a boost, including some in Northeast Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin Department of Administration (DOA) Wisconsin Coastal Management Program (WCMP) is donating nearly $1.3 million in grants to 31 communities to support quality of life, foster economic development and protect and improve Great Lakes resources.
Several grants will be distributed in Northeast Wisconsin, including Manitowoc, town of Scott, town of Gibraltar, Kewaunee and Door County.
“There’s no overstating the importance of our Great Lakes and how these vital natural resources have shaped the culture and economy of our coastal communities and our state’s history,” said Gov. Evers. “Wisconsin’s roughly 800 miles of Great Lakes shoreline across Lake Michigan and Lake Superior provide folks with drinking water, commerce, and recreational opportunities that bring millions of visitors and future residents from far and wide. These investments will go a long way toward helping ensure we protect our shoreline communities, address the unique challenges we face, and promote long-term growth and success.”
The next Request for Proposals will be available in August 2024, with an application deadline of early November 2024.
