Franklin County eligible for two FRDAP grants - now the need the projects to spend them on

            County Commissioners are looking for local park projects for which they can seek state funding.

The board found out this week that they can apply for two Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program grants – but they only have until August 14th to get the applications in.

The commission already has one FRDAP grant active – it is paying to move the playground equipment and to do other work at Vrooman Park in Eastpoint.

The board would really like to get a grant to build a soccer field and basketball court at DW Wilson park – but the last time they applied for money for that work the project didn’t rank high enough to get funded.

Because of the short amount of time there is to apply for the grants, the board agreed this week to allow county staff to pick the projects they think are most likely to be funded.


Commissioners will then be notified of the options and commission chairman William Massey was given approval to sign the grant requests without the board having to meet on the issue again.
