AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: There is not an application process for this funding opportunity. This is a notice of intent to award a  single source grant to the Toledo Zoological Society under justification 505DM 2.14.B.1 and 4.
Description: Funding will be provided to develop infrastructure in support of Maumee River Lake Sturgeon Rearing Facility. Applicants should be familiar with obtaining construction permits and have the ability to construct a concrete pad, provide sanitary, fencing, potable water supply, and electricity at the site of the facility. This is a notice of intent to award a single source grant to the Toledo Zoological Society without competition under justification 505DM 2.14.B.1 and 4. Competition for the award is not practical as this grant is part of a larger project to restore the lake sturgeon population in the Maumee River. A streamside rearing facility for lake sturgeon will be located on property owned by the Toledo Zoological Society. The Toledo Zoological Society has the voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability (funds already received), and the technical expertise (5 full-time aquarists) to receive these funds without competition. The rearing facility will also be a part of an exhibit developed by the Toledo Zoological Society for public outreach.
