Far West secures federal LWCF grant and advances NEPA study for Meadows Park
Summary
Far West staff reported a $393,610 Land and Water Conservation Fund award toward Meadows Park and completion of an on‑site NEPA study; combined with pending state grants the city could approach roughly $900,000 for park construction.
Parks staff told the planning commission that the city received $393,610 from the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund toward Meadows Park, and that a NEPA (environmental) field study was completed to meet federal clearance requirements.
Staff said the city requested about $1 million but was awarded $393,610; they also applied for a state community parks grant of roughly $195,000 and noted a separate $110,000 grant from the Wasatch Front Regional Council. If awarded, those sources would bring available grant funding close to $900,000 for the park project. Staff said utility bids and contracting for site utilities are underway while the National Park Service completes federal approvals tied to the grant.
Commissioners described the funding as a significant step toward executing the city master‑plan park project and asked staff to continue updates as NEPA and contracting milestones are reached.
