By Staff
ATLANTA - The Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Board recently announced its recommendation for recreation projects totaling $1 million. Fourteen Georgia counties, cities and recreation authorities - three in northeast Georgia - have been selected to move forward in the approval process.

The federal Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) helps communities acquire land, develop parks and renovate existing properties. The recreational grant program is administered through the DNR, with officials reviewing 52 applications this year. Final approval is granted by the Department of Interior.

The northeast Georgia entities on the list are the cities of Commerce and Cornelia and Dawson County.
