Pump track project advances as village agrees to hold raised skateboard-park funds
Summary
Trustees passed a resolution making the village the lead agent to accept funds raised by the Greenwood Lake Skatepark Corporation for construction of a pump track with Artesian Concrete Services; funds will be held in a separate account and used only for the project.
The board approved a resolution authorizing the Village of Greenwood Lake to serve as lead agent to accept and hold funds raised by the Greenwood Lake Skatepark Corporation for construction of the pump track with Artesian Concrete Services. Mayor Howley said the resolution "will give the ability of them to hand over all the money they raised," and trustees voted aye to place the funds in a separate account restricted to the pump track project.
Mayor Howley also noted the pump track contract had been awarded, that tree clearing at the rear of Winstanley Park will begin late summer, and that crews plan grading work where feasible before winter with a targeted grand opening in late spring or early summer the following year.
Why it matters: The resolution creates a municipal account for privately raised project funds and signals progress toward a new recreational facility funded by local fundraising and construction contracts.
