A special meeting of the UDC’s Project Review Committee will be convened on Tuesday, September 11, at 6:30 p.m. to meet with applicants and review their proposals. Approval of FY 2013 grant awards is expected at the Thursday, October 4 monthly UDC meeting to be held at 7 p.m. Both meetings will be at the council’s building on Bridge Street.

The River Management Plan for the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River authorizes the UDC to provide technical, planning and financial assistance to participating governments for projects related to implementation of the plan.
