Commission approves $340,400 state grant for Riverside Park overlook deck
Summary
Alma City authorized the city manager to execute a Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund agreement providing $340,400 (74% of a $460,000 project) for an Overlook Deck at Riverside Park Pavilion; the local match is $119,600.
The commission voted to authorize the city manager to execute a Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF) development agreement to build an Overlook Deck at Riverside Park Pavilion. Staff said the grant award totals $340,400 and covers roughly 74% of the project's $460,000 cost; the city's required match is $119,600.
A city staff member explained the timeline: the commission was notified of the grant late last year, expected the formal agreement in February, and said the governor recently signed appropriations that released the funding. The resolution to accept the grant and authorize execution of the agreement passed by voice vote.
Commission discussion was limited; commissioners thanked staff and noted the project will update the pavilion and site amenities that serve park users and downtown visitors. The city will proceed to finalize contract documents and work with grant administrators on next steps.
