Board authorizes SWIMS grant application to improve Thomas Morahan Waterfront Park
Summary
The Greenwood Lake board approved a resolution to submit a New York State SWIMS grant application to fund infrastructure and beach improvements at Thomas Morahan Waterfront Park; the grant is a matching program (approximately 80% state, 20% local).
The Greenwood Lake Village Board voted to authorize submission of a SWIMS (state parks) grant application to support improvements at Thomas Morahan Waterfront Park. Mayor Howley said the grant program allows infrastructure and beach improvements and that the village is prioritizing needs for Thomas Morahan as it prepares the application.
Mayor Howley summarized the match requirement: "It's a matching grant... I think we're on the hook for 20%." The board moved and approved Resolution 27 to submit the application and instructed staff to prioritize likely improvements such as pavement and site work at the waterfront park.
No contract awards or specific project scopes were approved at the meeting; trustees said staff will return with prioritized items to include in the application and with cost estimates to refine the local match.
