Provide a summary of the project or program:
           Bayou Greenbelt is a proposed 23-mile water loop around Lake Charles. The intent is to give public access and recreational amenities to enhance hidden natural features near the city. This includes trails on public land adjacent to waterways for walking, running, biking, and paddling. The initial phases of Bayou Greenbelt are completed with the northern point at Riverside Park in North Lake Charles and the southern point at McNeese State University. Kayak launches are being installed at both locations to provide public space equitable access to the waterways. Kayak kiosks will enhance the experience by offering residents the ability to rent kayaks and the necessary equipment to safely paddle around Lake Charles. The funding would allow the Community Foundation Southwest Louisiana to purchase kayak locker systems for both locations. These locker systems include kayaks, paddles and the proper safety equipment.

What is the budget relative to the project for which funding is requested?:
          Salaries. . . . . . . . . . . . . $0
          Professional Services. . . $0

Does your organization have any outstanding audit issues or findings?  No

What is the entity's public purpose, sought to be achieved through the use of state monies?
          The public purpose of this project is to provide residents with equitable access to our waterways through kayaking. The kayak kiosks would help those who do not own or cannot afford kayaks the ability to rent them and start paddling. It will also provide the necessary safety equipment so that everyone who rents the kayaks can paddle safely.

What are the goals and objectives for achieving such purpose?
          The Bayou Greenbelt project was initially thought of as a quality-of-life project to help attract and retain a workforce to Southwest Louisiana by enhancing access to our waterways and offering recreational amenities for those who appreciate our natural and cultural resources. The goal of the kayak kiosks is to be an asset to Bayou Greenbelt by providing the tools that allow more people enjoy our natural resources, offer equitable access the waterways, and improve quality of life for many.

What is the proposed length of time estimated by the entity to accomplish the purpose?
           1 year
