The Cumberland County Improvement Authority (Authority) has appropriated $300,000 dollars towards the 2010 Community Environmental Enhancement Grant. This grant assists organizations in preserving and improving the environment in Cumberland County. Recipients will be provided with funding to conduct activities related to the environment. Activities could include such projects as, but not limited to, anti-litter programs, recycling, air quality, water quality, solid waste management, watershed management, preservation efforts, environmental cleanup efforts to encourage preservation, soil conservation, establishment of outdoor recreation facilities by way of the reclamation of public lands by a non-profit organization, improving storm water management practices, and the purchasing of recycled material for community enhancement and recreational projects.
