Recreation Infrastructure Program

[This is a regional program and only supports communities in its service area. Details can be found in the program summary and on the program’s website.]

 

The Recreation Infrastructure program supports community efforts to create and support recreational infrastructure, such as arenas, gymnasiums, golf courses, fields, boat launches and others, to encourage resident attraction and retention while also increasing opportunities for sport tourism.
