Chamber announces park grant, swing project and spring/summer events
Summary
The Chamber of Commerce reported a $5,200 grant to buy park furniture for Few Street Park, scheduled installation on March 16, a custom swing being built by Public Works, an April 4 Easter Egg Hunt, the Butler County Achiever Award Scholarship program (two $3,500 awards), and a July 4 Celebrate America event at the former Tiger Stadium with a veterans tribute.
Tracy Salter of the Greenville Chamber of Commerce told the council on March 9 that the Chamber received a $5,200 grant to purchase and install new furniture at Few Street Park to give families places to sit while children play. Salter said the furniture is scheduled for installation on March 16 and that Jimmy Cole with Building and Grounds will assist. She added Public Works Director Garrett Luckie is building a custom swing for the park.
Salter also outlined upcoming community events and programs: a free Community Easter Egg Hunt and Celebration on April 4 at the former YMCA building on Academy Drive co‑hosted by the Chamber and Greenville Parks and Recreation; the Butler County Achiever Award Scholarship program, which provides $3,500 awards to one male and one female recipient, with a banquet open to the public May 1 at LBW (tickets available April 1); and a Celebrate America event on July 4 at the former Tiger Stadium behind Greenville Elementary School that will include a special veterans tribute as part of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
No council action was required for the report; Salter’s presentation served as an informational update.
