Avon accepts $5,000 Duke Energy grant for trail and safety program
Summary
The Avon Town Council accepted a $5,000 grant from the Duke Energy Foundation to support the town's trail-and-safety program; Duke Energy and Avon parks staff paused for a photo and said striping and marker installation will follow when weather permits.
Avon accepted a $5,000 grant from the Duke Energy Foundation to support the town's trail and safety program, Avon parks and recreation director Shelby Pride announced during the meeting.
"We are very excited to have received $5,000 for this grant for our trail and safety," Pride said, noting that the town has begun installing trail marker signs and will complete striping when weather permits. Gene Rink, a Duke Energy representative, said, "On behalf of the Duke Energy Foundation, we're pleased to do this. We know how important trails and parks are to quality of life and so to be able to support what Avon is doing is really a privilege for us." The group paused for a photograph after the presentation.
The presentation did not include any formal conditions tied to the award in the transcript. Pride said the town has already started implementing the program and described the grant as supporting ongoing trail markers and future striping work. The council did not debate or vote on the grant during the presentation; the announcement preceded the consent agenda and other business.
The next procedural step mentioned in the meeting was continued implementation of trail marker installations and scheduling striping when weather allows.
