Helper secures Land and Water Conservation grant backed by $580,000 cash match
Summary
Helper City reported it won a Land and Water Conservation Grant with a $580,000 cash match (reported as provided by John Houston) to fund restrooms, dugouts, press box, turfing and batting cages in partnership with USU.
Helper Mayor Lenise Peterman told the board that Helper was awarded a Land and Water Conservation Grant and secured a $580,000 cash match from John Houston to fund significant recreation improvements. The project is planned in partnership with Utah State University and will cover a new restroom, press box, expanded dugouts, fencing, turfing to reduce water costs, and batting cages.
The improvements are intended to support long-term facility sustainability and make the site more attractive to visitors and tournament play. Lenise framed the grant as a strategic investment in community infrastructure and visitor readiness; the board received the update and asked the city to coordinate implementation details with the tourism office and USU partners.
