Description
The National Park Service intends to award a cooperative agreement to the Delta Protection Commission for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta National Heritage Area. The project aims to preserve and rehabilitate the natural, historical, cultural, recreational, and agricultural resources of the Delta. The goals of the project include identifying the Delta as a region of national significance, supporting economic development, promoting heritage tourism, and conserving the natural and cultural resources of the area. The project will be implemented through a cooperative agreement, with the National Park Service providing technical and financial assistance. The project will involve developing and implementing a National Heritage Area Management Plan, which will include activities such as developing interpretive exhibits and programs, promoting public awareness of the area's resources, and protecting and restoring historic sites and buildings.
Some key points of the project include:
• Developing a comprehensive network of partners to support the development and implementation of the Management Plan
• Providing technical assistance to the National Heritage Area to develop and implement the Management Plan
• Addressing funding and administrative issues
• Participating in National Heritage Area-related meetings and conferences
• Ensuring that partnership activities are undertaken with the consent of property owners
• Promoting economic viability and sustainability consistent with the purposes of the National Heritage Area
