Franklin Park council authorizes $269,784 Commonwealth grant application for accessible playground
Summary
Council passed Resolution No. 1406 of 2025 to authorize submission of a $269,784 local share grant application to the Commonwealth Financing Authority to fund an accessible playground project at Franklin Park.
FRANKLIN PARK, Pa. — The Franklin Park borough council on Dec. 3 authorized submission of a Commonwealth Financing Authority local share grant application for $269,784 to support an accessible playground project in the borough.
Speaker 6 summarized Resolution No. 1406 of 2025 as authorizing the borough to apply for a $269,784 grant from the Commonwealth Financing Authority for an accessible-playground project. Speaker 1 moved the resolution; the council approved it by voice vote with at least one recorded 'Aye' and no dissent recorded in the transcript.
The resolution’s stated purpose is to fund accessibility improvements to a playground (described in the meeting as an "accessible playground" project). The transcript does not provide a project timeline, detailed budget breakdown, or matching-funding commitments; those details will be part of the grant application process or subsequent staff reports.
Next steps: Borough staff are expected to file the grant application with the Commonwealth Financing Authority as authorized; the transcript does not specify application deadlines or whether the project requires matching funds or additional approvals.
