To participate, an eligible city must enter into a cooperative greenspace program with the county. A county that elects to develop a community greenspace program has no option to refuse a municipality’s request to participate. If a county and municipality cannot work out a community greenspace program together (even with differing requirements for the county and the municipality), then both lose out on state-appropriated funds.
