Board reports $5,000 grant for benches and accessible tables; another $5,000 opportunity due Aug. 31
Summary
A board member announced a roughly $5,000 grant award that will buy four benches and two accessible picnic tables; members also discussed a separate Butler Rural Electric grant opportunity due Aug. 31 and agreed to coordinate with trustees on application details.
A committee member told the board they had received confirmation of a roughly $5,000 grant award that will fund four benches and two accessible picnic tables for the park. The member said the award confirmation arrived recently and that they expect to accept the grant at an event on Aug. 20.
"He did end up getting that one grant for about $5,000. So, that'll be 4 benches and 2 accessible picnic tables," the committee member said, reporting the award and its intended purchases. Members welcomed the news and said benches are frequently requested by residents.
The board also discussed another grant opportunity from Butler Rural Electric, with a deadline at the end of August; members said they would brainstorm appropriate uses (such as signage or landscaping) and would coordinate with Trustee Griffith for required organizational IDs and application details. They agreed a small working email thread with Griffith would speed planning and keep the group from waiting until the last minute before the deadline.
