Grant Information
The Snowmobile Trail Grant Program, administered by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation, provides funding to local government sponsors who work to develop and maintain snowmobile trails that are officially recognized as part of the State Snowmobile Trail System. Grants are issued to local sponsors on a prorated basis derived from the approved trail system and funding applications. The program is divided into three phases, each with its own firm deadline. All requests for a deadline extension must be submitted in writing. Responses approving deadline extensions will also be in writing.
