Sandusky announces nearly $1 million for Lions Park Beach shoreline restoration
Summary
City manager announced a $750,000 Lake Erie community grant (GLRI/US EPA cooperative agreement) and $200,000 in state capital funds for Lions Park Beach shoreline restoration; the city will bring legislation to award design and accept the grants at the next commission meeting.
City Manager O'Rourke told the Sandusky City Commission on June 22 that the city has been awarded two grants to support shoreline restoration at Lions Park Beach.
"The city of Sandusky was awarded $750,000 for the Lion Parks Beach project," O'Rourke said, and he added that the state recently passed its capital budget and the governor signed it, providing an additional $200,000 for the project. He thanked state legislators for their support and said the city would bring legislation at the next meeting to award final design and accept the grant funds.
O'Rourke also noted small, local donations to support summer break activities and park maintenance; the commission accepted those donations on the record. Commissioners thanked staff for securing the grants and expressed enthusiasm that the shoreline restoration and associated design work will move forward.
Next steps: staff will present legislation to accept the grants and approve a design contract at the commission's next regular meeting.
