PLC Projects in Weare and Goffstown Awarded State Grants.

We were recently informed that two of PLC’s current land conservation projects have been awarded major grants by the state’s Aquatic Resources Mitigation Fund (ARM). PLC’s acquisition of the 205-acre Meadowsend property in Weare has been awarded a $185,000 grant, which represents nearly two-thirds of the funds we need to complete the project. PLC’s 52-acre Jennings easement project in Goffstown has also been awarded $94,000 by the ARM program. When added to funds already committed by Town of Goffstown, the grant gets the project to full funding. Administered by the N.H. Department of Environmental Services, the Aquatic Resources Mitigation Fund focuses on the conservation and restoration of wetlands and other aquatic resources. Its funding comes from mitigation payments made by building or transportation projects that impact wetlands. PLC is deeply grateful to the ARM program for its generous support of our land conservation work.
