GRANTS
MEASURE R AND U GRANTS
MLR is the recommending body to the Town of Mammoth Lakes for the expenditure of Special Tax Measures R & U. A large part of the recommendation is for the funds to be used as grants for projects and programs that support recreation, arts and culture.
IMPLEMENTATION GRANT:
SHERWINS TRAILHEAD
MLR has been awarded a $950,000 grant to implement the shovel-ready trailhead concept at the current sight that has become known as the "Sherwins Trailhead". The Trailhead will connect to existing infrastructure within the Mammoth Lakes Trail System (MLTS), create a seamless, integrated recreation experience for locals and visitors of the Mammoth Lakes Area, and protect sensitive archaeological sites and habitat by defining and developing the trailhead area.
PLANNING GRANT:
SHERWINS AREA TRAILS + TRAILHEAD EXPANSION
MLR has been awarded a $510,000 planning grant to perform environemntal analysis work in the Sherwins Area for approximately 20 miles of proposed trails. This project will enhance and integrate into the existing MLTS project and is an important step toward providing sustainable recreation opportunities to the local community and visitors.
