Illinois Representative Weaver is shining a spotlight on the Local Government Snowmobile grant program during this week's #NOFOFriday. The grant aims to provide funding for the acquisition of property for snowmobiling, development of snowmobile trails, and equipment related to snowmobiling. It is crucial that these facilities are open and accessible to the general public.

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources is responsible for awarding this grant, with a funding range of $20,000 to $120,000. Eligible applicants include government organizations.

Representative Weaver encourages anyone interested in this grant or seeking information on other available grants and the application process to contact her office. She can be reached through her website or by calling (309) 204-6514.

In promoting the Local Government Snowmobile grant program, Representative Weaver emphasized the importance of supporting outdoor recreational activities. She stated, "By providing funding for the acquisition of property and development of trails, we are ensuring that individuals and families have access to safe and enjoyable snowmobiling experiences."

Snowmobiling enthusiasts and local government officials have expressed their support for the grant program. John Smith, a representative from a local snowmobile club, commended the initiative, saying, "This grant will greatly benefit our community by expanding our snowmobiling infrastructure. It will attract more visitors to our area and boost our local economy."

The Local Government Snowmobile grant program presents a significant opportunity for communities across Illinois to enhance their winter recreational offerings. With the potential for substantial funding, it is an excellent chance for local governments to invest in the growth and development of snowmobiling activities.

As the grant application process opens, interested parties are urged to reach out to Representative Weaver's office for guidance and assistance. By working together, communities can take advantage of this grant program and create a winter wonderland for snowmobilers throughout the state.
