Wallsburg targets park bathroom grant and small community-park projects alongside town hall work
Summary
Councilors identified the RR1 park reconstruction grant (deadline March 13) as a strong candidate to fund bathroom upgrades, and discussed a separate community parks grant capped near $200,000 that could fund shade or limited pickleball improvements; Nancy advised focusing on one strong application.
Council members asked whether park bathroom work could be funded through a separate program and Nancy confirmed the RR1 (restoration/reconstruction infrastructure) grant can be used for bathroom remodels at parks and is due March 13. "That's the one that for you to do your bathrooms at the park," Nancy said, recommending the town prioritize the plumbing and ADA upgrades in that application.
The group also discussed the community parks grant (about $200,000 maximum), which could pay for small amenities such as shade structures or a single pickleball court; Nancy cautioned that applying for multiple small grants simultaneously can dilute chances and recommended selecting the highest-priority project for the upcoming cycle.
