Salem Township seeks $441,480 DCNR grant to replace park play structure and add trail
Summary
The Salem Township Board approved submitting a DCNR C2P2 grant application for a $441,480 park project with a $220,740 match that the board said may come from a DCED GTRP grant and in‑kind DPW work.
Salem Township on March 24 approved applying for a Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) C2P2 grant to fund replacement of the park’s main play structure and installation of a walking trail around the ball field.
Road Master John Fogg Jr. moved the application; Vice‑Chairman Steven Fraind seconded and the motion was recorded as approved. The project’s total cost is $441,480; the board recorded a required match of $220,740 and said the match may be funded through a DCED GTRP grant and in‑kind work by the township Department of Public Works.
A resident inquiry earlier in the meeting noted the project includes replacing the play structure and a parent walking trail around the ball field. The board recorded follow‑up tasks to pursue the grant and match funding; no implementation timeline or final contractor selection for the park improvements was recorded in the minutes.
The board adjourned at 6:35 PM; staff indicated next steps include submitting the DCNR application and seeking the DCED GTRP match.
