Henderson RDA approves $576,000 in Parks & Recreation grants for downtown, East Side and Cornerstone events and art
Summary
The Henderson Redevelopment Agency approved two FY26 Parks & Recreation grant packages: $255,000 for public art (downtown and East Side) and $321,000 for downtown and Cornerstone events, for a combined $576,000 to support local arts and events programming.
The Henderson Redevelopment Agency voted to approve two Parks & Recreation grant packages intended to support public art and local events.
David Voorhe presented the first grant (Item 3) as a FY26 award for public art installations, describing $155,000 for downtown and $100,000 for the East Side — the second year of the program. Voorhe said, "Number number 3 is a grant for art installments in the downtown area for 155,000 and 100,000 for the East Side. We started that last year, and this is the second year for this grant." The chair asked for a motion and the clerk reported that "All members voted in favor of the motion made by member Seabaugh, and it carries."
Voorhe then presented a separate FY26 grant for events in the Water Street District and Cornerstone areas, saying the package totaled $321,000: $257,000 for downtown events and $64,000 for Cornerstone Park events. He noted the city has funded Water Street events for several years and recently began supporting Cornerstone Park events. The clerk reported a unanimous vote after a motion by member Larson.
Combined, the two grant packages total $576,000. The meeting transcript records no public speakers on these items and no amendments to the grant approvals.
