Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00267
The funding opportunity titled "NOTICE OF INTENT: FY2019 SPNHA Implementation of Management Plan" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00267) is a National Park Service discretionary cooperative agreement intended to support implementation of the South Park National Heritage Area (South Park NHA) management plan. It stems from the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-11), specifically Section 8003, which formally established the South Park NHA and directed the Secretary of the Interior to enter into a compact with the heritage area's management entity, Park County. In practical terms, the notice signals federal support for carrying out the on-the-ground and organizational work laid out in the approved management plan for this congressionally designated heritage landscape.
The purpose of the award is to fund activities that help preserve, interpret, and sustain the nationally significant landscape and stories of South Park by advancing priorities already identified in the management plan. The notice frames National Heritage Areas as places where natural, cultural, historic, and scenic resources come together as a single, connected landscape shaped by geography and human activity over time. Because Congress recognizes these areas for their ability to tell nationally important stories about the American experience, this opportunity focuses on efforts that serve a clear public purpose and align with the authorizing statute. The work described is not limited to physical projects; it also emphasizes the planning and coordination needed to keep a heritage area functioning effectively and communicating its value to residents and visitors.
The funded scope highlighted in the notice centers on planning, administration, outreach, and demonstration projects. Planning can include activities that refine implementation strategies, coordinate partners, and sequence priorities in ways that match the management plan. Administration generally refers to the operational backbone of the heritage area, such as managing the cooperative framework, supporting governance and reporting functions, and maintaining the capacity to carry out program work responsibly. Outreach points to public engagement and communication, including educational and interpretive efforts that connect people to the heritage area's resources and stories, build local and regional participation, and strengthen partnerships. Demonstration projects are typically smaller, practical projects that showcase methods or approaches recommended in the management plan, helping prove concepts, build momentum, or create visible early results that advance preservation and interpretation goals.
From a program logistics standpoint, the opportunity is offered by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, under CFDA number 15.939, with an activity category of Natural Resources. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which usually indicates a more hands-on federal role than a standard grant, often involving substantial involvement by the agency in coordinating, guiding, or collaborating during implementation. The notice lists an award ceiling of $332,097 and anticipates a single award, suggesting a targeted allocation likely intended for the designated management entity or a specific partner aligned with the statutory framework and management plan responsibilities. The posting was created on June 13, 2019, with an original closing date of June 23, 2019, reflecting a short response window typical of some notices of intent or limited-competition actions.
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others" with additional clarification referenced elsewhere in the full announcement, but the narrative context makes clear that Park County is the management entity identified in the authorizing legislation and the compact arrangement described in the notice. Overall, this opportunity is best understood as federal financial support aimed at helping the South Park NHA management entity and partners carry out agreed-upon, plan-driven work that protects and promotes the area's combined natural and cultural heritage while delivering public benefits consistent with Public Law 111-11.Apply for P19AS00267
