Groundwork Southcoast Project and Program Development

The National Park Service intends to award a task agreement under a previously competed or single source justified master cooperative agreement to Groundwork USA for the Groundwork Southcoast Project and Program Development. The project aims to build the capacity of Groundwork Southcoast to undertake projects and programs that engage the communities they serve in locally-led projects and programs to improve their economy, environment, and quality of life. The project objectives include planning and development activities to engage GW Southcoast in the clean-up and reuse of brownfields and derelict lands, building trails and park improvements, and improving access to healthy foods and urban agriculture. The recipient will also plan and develop opportunities for the GW Southcoast Green Team to participate in green job training and service learning activities. • The project will focus on community development and environmental conservation. • The recipient will be responsible for updating program materials, identifying potential projects, expanding partnerships, and planning a green job training and service project. • The National Park Service will provide federal oversight and technical assistance to support the objectives of the agreement.
