Council authorizes $20,000 grant agreement for ADA kayak launch at Peters Lake
Summary
Council authorized township officials to execute a $20,000 grant agreement with Washington County Tourism for an ADA kayak/canoe launch at Peters Lake Park; total estimated cost is $56,000 and the 2026 budget includes a $50,000 appropriation. Vote 5‑0.
Peters Township Council authorized township officials on June 22 to execute a $20,000 grant agreement with the Washington County Tourism Promotion Agency toward constructing an ADA‑accessible kayak and canoe launch at Peters Lake Park.
David Brooks, director of Parks & Recreation, said the launch would provide a safer, universally accessible way for residents to enter the lake and is included in the township’s five‑year capital improvement plan. Brooks told council the total project estimate is about $56,000; the 2026 budget currently appropriates $50,000. Additional funds could come from gas‑lease fees or development fees in lieu of open space if needed.
Council voted 5‑0 to authorize the grant agreement; staff said executing the agreement does not obligate the township to construct the project until funding and a bid award are in place next year.
