Park funding plan: 50/50 grant pursuit and local matching options discussed
Summary
Committee heard that the Jason Clearwater Fund will apply for a 50/50 Grundy County grant to supplement its $20,000 pledge; minutes note the village lacks the matching funds and the fund may provide the match. A Fun Run donation of $2,000 was also pledged.
Committee members discussed a multi-source funding approach for Centennial Park improvements, including a 50/50 grant application and local donations. Nate Olson of the Jason Clearwater Fund said the fund "will apply for a 50/50 grant through the Grundy County Community Foundation to seek additional funds to be used." The minutes indicate the village currently lacks the required 50 percent match and that the Jason Clearwater Fund may be able to provide matching funds.
Committee members also recorded an anticipated $2,000 donation from the Grundy County Fun Run, expected after the event on July 25. The committee agreed these combined sources would help fund the concession-area upgrades and broader park needs but noted timing and match availability remain to be resolved before construction begins.
