Committee accepts $90,000 DCED grant to replace final Rose Garden pavilion
Summary
Bill 6 authorizes a $90,000 supplemental appropriation from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development to replace the final pavilion at Rose Garden No. 1 (Cedar Parkway). Committee approved the measure after staff described scope and funding terms.
The Allentown City Parks and Recreation Committee approved Bill 6 to amend the 2024 capital fund budget and authorize $90,000 from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) to replace the final pavilion at Rose Garden No. 1 on Cedar Parkway.
Mister Lino said this is the last pavilion needing upgrade and that the DCED grant does not require a local match. He told the committee the city has funds and intends to replace all the pavilions within the year; construction had not yet started on the pavilions at the time of the meeting.
A council member moved and another seconded the motion; the chair called the vote and recorded “aye.” No public comments were offered. The meeting transcript does not provide a roll-call tally or contractor information, and it does not specify an exact construction start date.
