Vestal approves local match pledge for Arnold Park playground EPF grant application
Summary
The board approved providing the local match—25% of a $697,773 playground improvement project—if the EPF grant is received (project total $697,773; NYEPF share 75% = $523,329.75; town match $174,443.25, including $101,200 in-kind).
The Town Board approved a resolution to provide the required local match for a New York State Environmental Protection Fund (EPF) grant application to replace the playground at Arnold Park. Robert (speaker 4) outlined the project cost and funding breakdown: total estimated project cost $697,773.00; NYEPF grant covering 75% ($523,329.75); town local match equal to 25% ($174,443.25), of which $101,200 is proposed in in-kind services and $73,243.25 in town cash.
Robert (speaker 4) explained the town has prepared plans and that staff and volunteers identified the funding opportunity. The board voted to authorize providing the local match if the grant is awarded and to proceed with the application. The resolution ties the town’s obligation to the grant award and calls for follow-up procurement and project scheduling if the award is made.
