1. Project Application Deadline Extended to January 30, 2026 The priority deadline for submitting Multi-Benefit Land Repurposing Program (MLRP) project applications has been extended to Friday, January 30, 2026. This extension provides additional time for landowners and growers to submit applications. The Steering Committee will score all received applications during the February meeting, with final approval packets submitted to the Department of Conservation (DOC) in March 2026. Even if you miss this priority deadline, applications submitted after January 30th will be maintained on a project list for future funding opportunities.
