Board approves $49,522 in Recreation Incentive Fund grants for eight community projects
Summary
The Board approved eight Recreation Incentive Fund grants totaling $49,522.41 to support playground and trailhead improvements, ADA equipment, and park repairs across Botetourt County; one member voted against a Pathfinders for Greenways allocation to amenities on state land.
Parks and Recreation Director Victor Morales presented recommended FY27 Recreation Incentive Fund grants May 26, and the Board approved eight projects with a total project cost of $99,044 and $49,522 recommended from the county fund.
Awarded projects include replacement safety borders at Troutville Town Park, ADA‑compliant gaga ball pits at Eagle Rock and Greenfield elementaries, playground enhancements at Colonial Elementary, trailhead amenities at Craig Botetourt Scenic Trail, adaptive playground equipment at Breckenridge and Cloverdale elementaries, and gazebo repairs in Fincastle. Mr. Morales confirmed applicants demonstrated proof of full project funding and that grants are reimbursed upon verified completion.
Supervisor Rottman said amenities on state‑owned trail land should be funded by the state and voted against only the Pathfinders for Greenways allocation; the overall funding package passed with the remaining votes.
