Huber Heights to seek NatureWorks grant to buy 9-acre parcel adjacent to Cloud Park
Summary
Staff asked council permission to apply to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources NatureWorks program to purchase a nine-acre parcel adjacent to Cloud Park under a 2022 agreement with Riverside and a developer.
At the May 8 work session the city presented a request for the city manager to apply for a NatureWorks grant administered by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to help buy a nine-acre parcel adjacent to Cloud Park.
Staff said the parcel is one the city previously entered into agreement to purchase in 2022 with the City of Riverside and a developer, and the NatureWorks program is a typical funding source for park land acquisition and improvements. The presenter asked council to move the grant-application authorization onto the next regular meeting agenda so the city manager can submit the application.
Funding context and next steps: staff asked for authorization to pursue the grant; if council places the item on the next agenda and approves it, the city will proceed with the NatureWorks application and return as required by the grant timeline.
Ending: Council directed staff to include the grant-application authorization on the upcoming meeting agenda for formal consideration.
