In April 2021, RPOSD released a solicitation for the Measure A competitive grant programs, starting with capital projects. It marked the first-ever opening of the following competitive grants programs:
-
- Natural Lands, Local Beaches, Water Conservation and Protection
- Regional Recreation Facilities, Multi-use Trails and Accessibility
- Acquisition-Only
RPOSD hosted workshops, sent email blasts, and ran a social media campaign to spread the word about the significant opportunities for park development across Los Angeles County.
On February 23, 2022, RPOSD announced the grant awards, totaling over $26 million, to develop, enhance, and provide broader access to parks, trails, and open spaces throughout the Los Angeles County region.
