Council approves LWCF grant spending and $200,000 amphitheater grant for Sam Peden Community Park
Summary
Floyd County authorized $146,373 from an LWCF grant fund and $31,277.92 in park capital spending, and approved a $200,000 grant request for the Sam Peden Community Park amphitheater project.
Parks & Recreation presented multiple funding requests May 12 that the council approved unanimously. Matt Denison asked the council to appropriate $146,373 from the 15.916 LWCF Grant Fund for professional services ($100,000) and construction ($46,373), and to authorize $31,277.92 from the Parks Non-Rev Capital Fund for Caesar Foundation Park and Duke Trail Grant work. Denise Konkle moved both motions; both passed without objection.
Denison also noted the grant request for the Sam Peden Community Park Amphitheater Project and said "the grant request is $200,000.00." The council approved that proposal on a separate motion moved by Sam Sarkisian. The approved appropriations allocate grant and capital dollars to park projects that staff said will support recreation and trail improvements across the county.
