Kendrick Park removed from grant request list

County Commissioners have had to cut Kendrick Park in carrabelle from the list of three projects for which the county is seeking state grant money.

The board had applied in September for three Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program grants for work at DW Wilson park in Apalachicola, Kendrick park in Carrabelle and Vrooman Park in Eastpoint.

 

This week they learned that the state has trimmed the program so each county is only eligible to apply for two grants.

 

The commission decided that DW Wilson Park and Vrooman park need the most work at this time, and decided to take Kendrick Park off the list.

 

The projects the county hopes will be funded include a soccer field and basketball court for DW Wilson park as well as some new playground equipment.

 

The Vrooman park project would include a new T-ball field, additional bathrooms and new playground equipment.

 

Each of the applications can be for up to 200 thousand dollars.
