Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) is accepting comments on a
proposed rule change that would allow tribal governments to apply for Veterans'
and War Memorial Grants. The proposed amendments are a result of legislation
passed during the 2017 session. Under House Bill 2405, tribal governments were
added as an entity eligible to apply for grant funding to build or restore
veterans' and war memorials. The deadline for public comment on the amendments
is Dec. 15, 2017. <BR><BR>The proposed rules change expands the pool of entities
eligible to apply for funding, but does not change the existing grant rules or
guarantee funding to any specific groups. The Veterans' and War Memorials Grant
Program was established to provide funding for constructing and restoring
veterans' and war memorials on public property. More information is available at
oregon.gov/OPRD/HCD. Click on Grants on the left side of the page. (<A
