Background and Discussion:

The TPWD-Local Parks Grant provides $1.5M with a required $1.5M Match for a total project cost of $3M.  The Challenger 7 Memorial Park - Boardwalk Renovation project was submitted by Precinct 1 and due to redistricting, fell within the new boundaries of Precinct 2.  The project was placed on hold until Precinct 2 could assess project and match funding and the Precinct has decided to proceed with the project as originally proposed.

 

Expected Impact:

Assist with partial funding for Boardwalk Renovation of Challenger 7 Memorial Park.

 

Alternative Options:

Without these grant funds we would have to scale back the project and/or utilize other sources of funding.

 

Alignment with Goal(s):

_ Justice and Safety

_ Economic Opportunity

_ Housing

X Public Health

_ Transportation

_ Flooding

X Environment

_ Governance and Customer Service
