Hague wins $150,000 occupancy-tax grant to advance town park performance pavilion
Summary
Town officials said a failed $1.5 million state funding bid was followed by a successful $150,000 Martin County occupancy-tax grant, enabling a small pavilion project slated for construction this fall and prompting further community design input.
Town Supervisor Joshua Patchen and consultants told residents that the proposed performance pavilion project has secured local funding and a narrow construction window. "He was successful in getting a 150,000 grant," a consultant said, describing the Martin County occupancy-tax award that allowed the town to move forward after an unsuccessful $1,500,000 consolidated funding application to the state.
Patchen and Studio A described the grant as a substantial local contribution that reduces overall project risk. Construction is planned for this fall, the team said, and the initial scope is intentionally modest: the pavilion will be roughly the same size as the visitor-center porch so the town can proceed within the current budget and engineer larger elements only if additional funds become available.
