Council discusses Glenwood Avenue park improvements, memorial wall and grant applications
Summary
Officials reported state and private grant activity for small park improvements on Glenwood Avenue, a proposed gazebo and curved memorial wall with plaques, and an upcoming T‑Mobile grant application for benches and playground equipment.
Clifton Heights Borough Council discussed pending park improvements for the Glenwood Avenue area, including a proposed gazebo, a curved memorial wall with plaques recognizing community, sports and emergency services, and several grant funding items under consideration.
The borough manager said a $50,000 project for Glenwood Avenue park improvements arrived through Senator Kearney’s office. He also said the borough will apply next week for a $50,000 T‑Mobile grant to fund benches and small playground equipment for the upper end of Glenwood Avenue, noting that the T‑Mobile funds cannot be used for the lower end of the park.
Council discussed creating a committee to manage annual plaque selections for a roughly 60‑foot curved wall at the quarter lot site; the manager said samples from other communities are being reviewed and that plaques would be added annually. The manager also said the borough’s ARPA program is closed out and that the borough received $750,000 in ARPA funds overall; ARPA projects may be subject to an audit in July.
No formal vote on the park designs or grant applications was recorded in the transcript; staff said they would pursue the T‑Mobile application and select samples for the memorial wall and gazebo design.
