Ridgetop explores LWCF grant for Wilson Webb Property, eyes Recreational Trails funds for Station Park
Summary
An outside presenter described a Land and Water Conservation Fund opportunity for the Wilson Webb Property; the city said it will pursue Recreational Trails Program funds for a walking trail at Ridgetop Station Park and will present application details at a March meeting.
Evan Sanders of Community Development Partners presented information about the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) opportunity for the Wilson Webb Property during the Ridgetop Board meeting on Feb. 17, 2026. He answered questions about the grant program and application process.
City Recorder Kelly Rider said the city will meet in March with the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation regarding an Outdoor and Recreation grant application for a walking trail at Ridgetop Station Park (2026 Recreational Trails Program funds). Rider said details of the grant application will be presented at that March meeting.
The discussion did not record an immediate vote or commitment to specific match amounts or a final application; it served as an informational step and scheduling point for the city to consider pursuing state and federal trail funds. Next steps recorded in the meeting minutes are the March grant meeting and subsequent presentation of application details to the board.
