Town staff invited to apply for $60,000 NCHS grant for amphitheater shade and turf; summer programming announced
Summary
Town staff said Veedersburg was invited to apply for a $60,000 NCHS grant to install shade sails and turf at the amphitheater area; staff also announced an amphitheater performance this Sunday and alumni events in mid-July.
Town staff Kim told the council the town had been invited to apply for a National Cultural and Historic Structures (NCHS) grant for $60,000 to install shade sails over seating and turf the amphitheater area; she said she submitted a letter of intent and will complete required certification steps to be able to prepare the grant application.
Kim said, "they invited us to apply for next year for $60,000 more dollars which would put shade sails over the seating area and turf the whole area." She described pending coursework and testing that will certify her to write grants after completion of training and exams in August and September. The transcript did not specify the grant application deadline or whether matching funds would be required.
Kim also announced summer events: performer Rick Deerdorf is scheduled to play the amphitheater as part of the summer series, and alumni events are scheduled for the second weekend of July. Staff noted potential concerns about planned laser-light use and said they would review regulations before committing to that technology.
No formal grant application was filed during the meeting; staff will proceed with certification steps and prepare the formal grant application as appropriate.
