Montgomery County to seek Mid‑South RC&D grant to pay for park fencing
Summary
Montgomery County staff plan to apply for the Mid‑South RC&D Council FY27 grant to fund fencing improvements at a county park. Grants range from $5,000 to $25,000 and require no local match; the grants department recommended the commission approve the application.
Montgomery County staff said the county will apply for an FY27 Mid‑South RC&D Council grant to pay for fencing improvements at one county park.
The recommendation appears in a memo from Deric Sippial, the county’s grants administrator, submitted to the Montgomery County Commission for its formal session on June 16, 2026. The memo says the Mid‑South RC&D Council grant cycle supports projects from units of government, schools and nonprofit organizations that address local needs in areas such as educational programs, public safety, community improvement and economic development.
The memo notes Montgomery County is within the council’s service area and therefore eligible to apply. The county says it would use any award to "enhance public safety, improve park infrastructure, and support the County's continued efforts to maintain safe and accessible recreational spaces for residents," according to the memo.
Financial details in the memo list grant awards between $5,000 and $25,000 and state there is no required local match for awards. "The grant department recommends you approve this application," the memo states.
The memo does not specify which park would receive the fencing improvements or a timeline for application submission and project completion. The commission will consider the staff recommendation at its formal session; the memo does not record a vote or final decision.
