Spencer County sets LWCF hearing for Ray Jewell 2.0 Park, adopts resolution to apply
Summary
Spencer County Fiscal Court approved a resolution to apply for a Land and Water Conservation Fund grant and set a public hearing for June 2, 2025, to discuss the Ray Jewell 2.0 Park project. The county would be required to reserve a 50% local match if a grant is awarded.
Spencer County Judge Executive Scott Travis announced May 19 that the fiscal court will seek federal matching funds through the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) to support development of Ray Jewell 2.0 Park and set a public hearing for June 2, 2025, at 8:30 a.m. in the Fiscal Court meeting room.
The court unanimously approved (with the member listed as absent in the minutes) a resolution authorizing the application and noting that LWCF grants typically fund up to 50% of eligible project costs; the resolution states the county will hold the required 50% match in reserve. The county’s public notice invites written comments to the Judge’s Office at 12 W Main St., Taylorsville, or via the listed email.
The resolution also states the county will sign assurances to comply with federal and state requirements if a grant is awarded, including nondiscrimination and Section 504 obligations. The June 2 public meeting will provide an opportunity for residents to review the proposed activities and potential impacts before the county submits any final application.
The date and time of the hearing were set by the court; no budget amount for the project was specified in the minutes. The court’s vote to adopt the resolution was recorded in the minutes as “on the motion of Esq. Stump, seconded by Esq. Eldridge,” with an affirmative vote from members present.
