State matching money needed or St. Louis River National Estuary project dies
91.3 KUWS, Duluth, MN (2/26)
The St. Louis River would be the 28th National Estuarine Research Reserve in the country and the 2nd on the Great Lakes. The reserve would bring in $550,000 in federal grants each year. To get those dollars the state needs to offer a 30% match, or about $236,000 annually.
