Just over 200 proposals made the cut, and they'll start getting $$$$ in 2008 --- $154m from the Feds, and $200+ million from partner agencies --- if and only if Congress creates a matching-grant fund.<br /><br />The largest projects:<br /><ul><li>$44m to build a memorial to United Flight 93, the hijacked plane that passengers brought down before it could reach its target (presumably the White House or U.S. Capitol)</li><li>$26m for a new visitor center for Old Faithful in Yellowstone NP</li><li>$24m to replace the visitor center and HQ at the USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor HI</li><li>$20m for restoration of disturbed lands in the Everglades</li></ul><p>Items of that size are the exception; the vast majority of these 200+ projects carry six- or even five-figure price tags.
