DDA explores combining private donation and Eaton County park grants for Washington Park improvements
Summary
A generous community member has offered a sizable donation for Washington Park; the DDA plans to combine those funds with DDA resources and is researching Eaton County Park Grant deadlines and application timing. The board tentatively scheduled its August meeting at Washington Park to review equipment and plan the project.
Board members discussed a proposed sizable donation from a community member to improve Washington Park and agreed to explore supplementing that gift with Eaton County Park Grants. The DDA indicated the donation plus some DDA funds would allow "very nice changes," and the board directed N. Roberts to research application deadlines and award announcement timing for county grants.
The board agreed to draw up a plan for possible improvements and tentatively scheduled the August meeting to take place at Washington Park to review existing equipment and space. No specific project scope, cost estimates, or grant amounts were provided at the meeting; those details will be developed as the DDA researches grant timelines and drafts a plan.
