Council reviews arts grant match and authorization to pursue parkland GOSA grant
Summary
Council heard a 50–50 Georgia Council for the Arts grant match request to rehabilitate the Cedar Grove cultural arts center and authorized staff to pursue a GOSA grant with TPL to acquire land for Campbellton Park; a private landowner offered to cover the local match for the park grant.
A grant representative asked the council to support a Georgia Council for the Arts facilities grant to rehabilitate and rebrand the Cedar Grove community cultural arts center. The presenter said the grant is a 50–50 match and that the application had to be submitted on a tight deadline; staff indicated an ordinance placeholder was already in place to cover the submission timing.
Separately, staff presented ordinance 24‑058 to authorize The Trust for Public Land (TPL) to apply for a GOSA grant to add parcels to Campbellton Park. Staff noted the grant requires a local match that could be substantial; a private landowner who is working with the city has offered to provide the match as part of the transaction. The council was asked only to authorize pursuit of the grant — there is no guarantee of award — and members thanked staff and volunteers for advancing both opportunities.
