Gluckstadt to accept $2.3 million BCBS grant for City Park playground and fitness area
Summary
The Board authorized acceptance of an approximately $2.3 million Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi Foundation grant to build about 27,000 square feet of playground and fitness equipment at City Park and authorized the Mayor to execute grant documents.
The Gluckstadt Board of Aldermen on May 12 authorized acceptance of a Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi Foundation grant estimated at about $2.3 million to develop a roughly 27,000-square-foot playground and fitness area at City Park.
City staff told the board the project will include playground equipment and a fitness area and asked the Board to authorize acceptance of the grant award and to allow the Mayor to sign the necessary grant agreement documents. The Board voted unanimously to approve both actions.
The Board’s approval allows staff to begin executing the grant agreement, proceed to project planning, and coordinate procurement and design steps required by the foundation award. No specific construction timetable or contractor selection was included in the meeting record; staff will return with implementation steps as required by the grant documentation.
