Staffing woes slow commercial fishermen sites grant
The Middle Peninsula Regional Planning District Commission (PDC) announced recently that a grant application to establish sites for developing commercial fishing and maritime waterfront areas has been delayed.
“The grant is advancing but with the PDC office down a staff person, we have requested an extension, which was granted,” said Lewis “Lewie” Lawrence, executive director of the PDC.
“VHB (Vanasse Hangen Brustlin the firm hired through a grant to spearhead the project) is still working on a deliverable grant application to be submitted assuming there is still a grant program to apply to. There is lots going on at the federal level, right now,” he said.
A key PDC employee who was working on the grant is on medical leave, which has slowed down the process, said Lawrence.
