Crowley council backs application for Miller Stadium grandstand repairs
Summary
Council voted to authorize a grant application to the Louisiana Government Assistance Program to fund improvements to the historic Miller Stadium grandstands after the Recreation Committee recommended the measure.
The Crowley City Council on Feb. 10 voted to authorize a grant application to the Louisiana Government Assistance Program (LGAAP) to fund improvements to the historic grandstands at Miller Stadium. Alderman Chuck Ashby moved the resolution and Alderman Jeff Dorey seconded; the council voted in favor.
The measure, advanced out of the Recreation Committee, asks the city to pursue LGAAP funding through the Office of Community Development for fiscal-year application materials described in committee packets. Supporters said the application seeks resources to preserve the stadium’s historic grandstands.
The matter was presented by the Recreation Committee on Feb. 10. Committee minutes show the motion was carried at that meeting and the council then approved the committee’s recommendation.
Next steps include submission of the LGAAP application by city staff and any follow-up documentation requested by the Office of Community Development. The council did not set an explicit local match or project budget in the public portion of the record; those details are expected to be provided with the formal grant application.
The city council recessed the Recreation Committee after the vote and moved on to other agenda items.
