Council adopts resolution to apply for $250,000 Greenways, Trails and Recreation Program grant for Veterans Trail Ridges
Summary
Franklin Park council voted to adopt Resolution 1384‑2025 authorizing a $250,000 GTRP grant application to fund Veterans Trail Ridges work in Blueberry Hill Park and related trails.
Franklin Park Borough council voted June 18 to adopt Resolution 1384 of 2025 authorizing the borough to apply for $250,000 from the Commonwealth’s Greenways, Trails and Recreation Program (GTRP) to support Veterans Trail Ridges work in Blueberry Hill Park.
Councilman Yonker summarized the resolution for the record as a GTRP grant application in the amount of $250,000 to be used for Veterans Trail Ridges in Blueberry Hill Park. The motion to adopt Resolution 1384‑2025 was seconded and approved by voice vote; council recorded an affirmative vote.
Why this matters: GTRP grants fund trail and park projects; if awarded, the funds would be applied to trail work in Blueberry Hill Park that council identified in the application. The resolution authorizes the borough manager to submit the application and to enter into the required grant agreement and related activities.
Next steps: Borough staff will submit the GTRP application and follow PennCommonwealth grant procedures; if the grant is awarded, staff will return with documents and implementation steps.
