Cuyahoga Valley National Park gets funds to draw young people

The Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a winner in a new federal program.

The park will be kicking off a new $341,700 program to get more inner-city youth into the 33,000-acre federal park between Akron and Cleveland.

The program is one of 110 national park projects awarded more than $51.5 million today under President Bush's National Park Centennial Initiative.

The Cuyahoga Valley will get $170,850 in federal funds that will be matched by $170,850 from the friends-of-the-park group, the Cuyahoga Valley National Park Association.
