Trappe accepts $195,000 grant to build softball field at Home Run Baker Park
Summary
The council accepted a $195,000 Community Parks and Playgrounds Program grant for a softball field at Home Run Baker Park; the project will involve the Town, Talbot County and the Little League Association and is contingent on Board of Public Works final approval.
President Schmidt said the Town received notification that the Community Parks and Playgrounds Program awarded a full grant of $195,000 to install a softball field at Home Run Baker Park. "This project will be a group effort between the Town, Talbot County and the Little League Association," he said, and noted the grant award is contingent on the Board of Public Works' final approval.
Commissioner Jeremy Newnam moved to accept the grant award and proceed with next steps; Commissioner Michael Sullivan seconded and the council approved the motion unanimously. The council did not detail design or construction timelines at the meeting; staff will coordinate with Talbot County and the Little League Association on next steps if the Board of Public Works confirms the award.
The grant award amount and the contingency on Board of Public Works approval were recorded in the meeting minutes; the Clerk's Report contains additional budgetary material filed with the records.
