Johnson County approves $250,006.75 grant for Edinburgh park equipment
Summary
The Johnson County Board of Commissioners voted June 9 to approve a grant of $250,006.75 to Edinburgh for new park equipment, with county leaders noting smaller communities' need for recreational amenities.
The Johnson County Board of Commissioners voted Monday to approve a grant for Edinburgh to purchase new park equipment in the amount listed in the meeting packet as $250,006.75.
The grant covers several pieces of equipment for the town park, county officials said. "We have a lot of smaller communities around the County that are lacking recreational facilities or amenities to provide such for the people in their area," a commissioner said during the meeting, urging support for the project in Edinburgh.
John Myers, identified in the meeting as Edinburgh's town manager, attended and was thanked by commissioners for the town's efforts. Commissioners also noted that staff in neighboring Nineveh had offered to help Edinburgh apply for similar funding if the Heritage Foundation of Nineveh contacts them.
The motion to approve the grant carried during the meeting; commissioners signaled approval by voice vote. The packet referenced the grant under routine matters and described the purchase as park equipment improvements for Edinburgh.
