Florida Communities Trust - Management Plan Technical Assistance
Program Home | Introduction | Florida Forever Grant Program | Technical Assistance | Program Contacts
A management plan is required for all project sites acquired under the Florida Communities Trust Program. The management plan lays out the short and long range management objectives, site development plans, resource protection activities and long term monitoring of the project site. The management plan must set forth the following:
- How the site will be managed to further the purpose of the project;
- Description of planned improvements to the Project Site;
- Costs and funding sources; and,
- The management entity and its funding source.
The Trust provides a Management Plan Checklist (Word), which covers all the necessary topics that need to be included in the management plan. Please include a copy of the checklist when submitting the management plan.
A management plan is typically between 15 and 30 pages depending upon the natural resources and the extent of development on the project site.
The Trust provides technical assistance in developing management plans for project sites. Management plans must be submitted and approved by staff before funds are delivered for a project site. Please contact the evaluation staff assigned to your region if you have any questions.
The Trust will also forward your management plan to the Division of Historical Resources for review. If you are looking for the assistance of an archaeologist to develop a resource protection plan or to survey a site, the website of the Register of Professional Archaeologists includes a listing of the organization's members in Florida.
