Sildvikmidlene

Sildvikmidlene is an annual grant program established when Sildvik power plant was developed. Each year, Narvik municipality distributes funds from Nordkraft Magasin AS (the concessionaire) earmarked for projects that strengthen fishing, recreation, and leisure opportunities within the municipality and its surrounding districts. The rules for the grant were adopted by Narvik City Council in 1994 and approved by the Directorate for Nature Management in 1995. Recipients are required to submit financial reports and progress updates. For multi-year projects, preliminary reports and financial statements must be submitted annually by the application deadline. Applications are reviewed by representatives from the administration, Culture unit, and Friluftsrådet during the spring following the application deadline.
