Funding and Assistance Available!
A cost share program has been set up to assist with water quality and shoreline projects. This program covers up to 75% of the costs of an authorized project. An approved cost share contract is required prior to installing the project in order to receive funding. This program was developed with grant funding obtained from the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources through the Native Buffer Cost Share Program. Call (218)-346-4260 or Email Steve Henry the County Shoreland Specialist for more information.
Projects installed through the Native Shoreland Buffers Incentive program are documented here.
