Taneytown moves to revise Memorial Park expansion plans as grant deadline looms
Summary
City staff told the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board that revised plans for the Memorial Park expansion will be resubmitted to State Highway and must clear county and planning approvals to meet a $865,000 National Park Service grant timeline.
Taneytown staff said revised designs for the Memorial Park expansion will be resubmitted to State Highway for approval and then routed to the county for forest conservation and planning commission reviews, with the aim of issuing a construction RFP and beginning work in about three to four months.
The update matters because the town’s schedule is tied to grant funding. “We’ve got $865,000 from National Park Service grant funding riding on this,” Lorena, parks staff, told the board. She said the project has been delayed while State Highway and the design consultant re-evaluate a sidewalk that is contributing to stormwater runoff.
