Parks staff outlines grant prospects; Brookdale construction request included
Summary
Staff described two pending grants — a delayed $40,000 award from a coastal-style program and a $50,000 low-cost construction request for Brookdale — that together could total about $90,000 if both are awarded; crop leases and a Porter County Tourism grant of just over $30,000 were also discussed.
Staff told the board the parks expect a delayed $40,000 grant this year that had been approved but not received in the prior cycle, and that the department applied for $50,000 in low-cost construction to develop the Brookdale site; staff said if both awards come through the parks would realize roughly $90,000 in grant funds this year.
The chair also said the parks will receive a Porter County Tourism grant "of just over $30,000" and that crop leases will be advertised early in the year with announcements expected in February–March. Board members discussed using building-and-trades partnerships to stretch capital dollars for building repairs and refurbishment.
