County Executive’s Proposed Budget Tackles Park Maintenance Backlog
|
|
$5.9 million Would Fund More Than 200 Projects
Annapolis (May 3, 2005) - To improve and enhance our Community Parks, County Executive Janet S. Owens’ proposed FY 2006 budget includes $4.7 million in "one time" funding for 177 projects. The $4.7 million is over and above the usual funding of $1.2 million for park renovations and will address the backlog in park maintenance that has been deferred in the past due to more pressing capital needs.
"These funds will be used Countywide to make our parks even better places for our citizens to enjoy. These projects range from basketball court replacement at Freetown Park, to correcting chronic drainage problems at Cape St. Claire Park, to replacing outfield fences in Deale, and adding restrooms at Jug Bay's River Farm," Ms. Owens said. "We will also be able to upgrade all of our park’s concession and restroom buildings, 46 in total, to stay current with Health Department standards."
