acquiring land. Grants may be made only to public bodies; private ‘
‘organizations are not eligible. The matching funds furnished by the
local government mey come From any non-Federal source, including
private philanthropy. However, donations of land cannot count toward
me local share. A project must be based on an open space plan for. :
ne community and must. be in conformance with areawide compren rensive
Siannihe Tor the entire metropolitan area. The land must de iccatec :
in an urban arta. However, there is no mininun population limitation. =
The Department places high vriority on land ecquisition when iv &
