Opportunity Information: Apply for L17AS00017
The funding opportunity titled "BLM NV City of Henderson Consolidated UPRR Trail Acquisition and Construction SNPLMA Round 16 HN42" (Funding Opportunity Number L17AS00017) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means BLM expects to have an active role in coordinating or overseeing elements of the project rather than simply providing funds with minimal involvement. The program falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.235.
The project purpose is straightforward and site-specific: acquire the necessary right-of-way (ROW) and construct roughly five miles of the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) Trail within the City of Henderson, Nevada. In practical terms, the ROW acquisition component is about securing the legal access and corridor needed to build and operate the trail along or near the railroad alignment, while the construction component covers the on-the-ground work required to create a usable trail segment. Although the notice does not list design details, projects of this kind commonly include grading, paving or surfacing, drainage, trailheads and access points, safety features, signage, and connections to nearby trail networks or community amenities, depending on local plans and engineering requirements.
Funding for the effort is tied to the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA) Special Account, a dedicated funding source used to support certain conservation, recreation, and land management projects in Southern Nevada. The opportunity notes that the Assistant Secretary of the Interior approved the estimated expenditures from the SNPLMA Special Account on December 6, 2016, indicating that the project concept and anticipated spending were already vetted at a high level before the formal funding notice was posted.
Eligibility is limited to city or township governments, and the opportunity specifically points to the City of Henderson as the intended applicant and project implementer. The listing anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1), reinforcing that this is essentially a targeted, project-specific cooperative agreement rather than an open competitive program meant for many applicants across different locations.
The award ceiling is listed at $30,500,000, which represents the maximum amount available under this opportunity. Given the combination of corridor acquisition and multi-mile trail construction, the large ceiling reflects how expensive ROW purchases, utility coordination, permitting, and full build-out of an urban trail facility can be, especially when integrating with existing transportation or rail-adjacent environments.
The opportunity was created on February 3, 2017, with an original closing date of February 16, 2017, showing a relatively short application window. Overall, the grant is designed to enable Henderson to secure property rights and complete construction of a substantial trail segment, expanding recreational and non-motorized transportation infrastructure in the city through SNPLMA-supported investments administered by BLM.Apply for L17AS00017
