Saranac Lake board authorizes NY PLAYS grant application to renovate Ampersand Garwood POW Park
Summary
Trustees authorized submission of a DASNY NY PLAYS grant application requesting up to $646,940.85 to renovate Ampersand Garwood POW Park; the village will provide a 20% match composed of in-kind services and cash.
The Saranac Lake Village Board on June 8 authorized staff to submit an application to the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (DASNY) under the NY PLAYS program seeking up to $646,940.85 to improve and renovate the Ampersand Garwood POW Park.
The resolution states the NY PLAYS program funds playground construction and renovation for underserved communities and that the village will provide the required 20% local match: in-kind services valued at $112,312.40 and cash of $17,075.77. The board moved to authorize the Community Development Department to submit the application; the motion passed on a roll-call vote with all trustees recorded as yes.
The resolution does not specify a construction schedule or contractor; it authorizes the application and commits the village to the local match if the award is made. The board discussed project and grant priorities elsewhere on the agenda but did not provide further project-level detail in the public minutes.
