Lower Pottsgrove votes to seek $1 million state grant for inclusive Sanatoga Park playground
Summary
The Board approved Resolution 1382‑25 unanimously to submit a $1,000,000 Local Share Account grant application to build an inclusive playground at Sanatoga Park; the Regional Park Committee and local politicians are expected to support the application.
The Lower Pottsgrove Township Board of Commissioners on Oct. 6 unanimously authorized submission of a $1,000,000 Local Share Account grant application to build an inclusive playground at Sanatoga Park.
Commissioner William Keohane moved to approve Resolution 1382‑25, Commissioner Michael McGroarty seconded, and the vote was 5‑0 in favor. Keohane said the Local Share Account is a “state funded grant program” and that Tricia McCloskey and the Regional Park Committee have worked for several months preparing the submission.
The packet and discussion indicated the Regional Park Committee has engaged local stakeholders and expects broad political support for the project. The resolution authorizes staff to submit the application; it does not guarantee award. If awarded, the Local Share Account — a state-administered funding source — would cover project costs subject to grant terms and any matching requirements.
The board did not set a construction timeline in the public discussion. Next steps are submission of the application and follow‑up by staff; Commissioner Keohane said local and state officials plan to advocate for the proposal.
