Henry County awarded $63,545 crumb‑rubber grant for playground surface; county to match 25%
Summary
Deputy Judge Buchanan reported Henry County received a $63,545 Crumb Rubber/Tire‑Derived Product grant to install poured‑in‑place surfacing at the playground near the Buchanan Splash Pad; the county expects to match ~25% (about $37,000) from Safety‑Kleen park funds.
Deputy Judge Buchanan announced the County received a Crumb Rubber/Tire‑Derived Product Grant for $63,545 with a required 25% match. He said bids are around $100,000 so the County anticipates needing roughly $37,000 from Safety‑Kleen park funds to cover the difference; installation will occur after the July 3 America 250 event and the poured‑in‑place surfacing will be installed adjacent to the splash pad.
Deputy Buchanan acknowledged Amy Mahoney for preparing the grant application. The Court noted the project will be a visual and functional improvement to the playground surface; the minutes do not show a separate vote to allocate match funds at this meeting, but they do record the grant award and the intended funding approach.
