Rob Park mini ramp reopens; commissioners say about $15,000 still needed to finish phases
Summary
Commissioners celebrated the Rob Park mini ramp phase 1 reopening and discussed continuing fundraising; one commissioner said Kiwanis donated $4,000 and the firefighters union $1,000 and estimated roughly $15,000 remains to complete phases 2–3.
Commissioner (speaker 3) reported a well-attended opening of the Rob Park mini ramp and outlined plans to complete phases 2 and 3 in spring with ongoing fundraising. "Kiwanis gave $4,000, and the firefighters union gave 1000 dollars," the commissioner said, and added that the group had roughly $6,500 toward a larger goal and likely needed another $15,000 to finish later phases.
Commissioners discussed grant strategies (including a potential Rotary grant in October) and community fundraising such as silent auctions and benefit events. The advisory group plans to continue fundraising through the winter and to build ramp pieces in a storage shed as donations and matching funds arrive so that construction can resume when funding allows.
