State of Columbia Parks and Recreation given

By Mayor Pamela Hoots

The City gave an update on the Parks and Recreation Department works over the past year as the new fiscal year begins.

We have signed the Memorandum Agreement with the Commonwealth of Kentucky on the Land and Water Conservation grant. This grant is for a splash pad at the city park on Fairgrounds Street. The grant is for $113,900.00. It is matching at 50%, which does include some in-kind in that amount.

We have signed the agreement with Lindsey Wilson College for additional usage around the track at the city park at the Fairgrounds. We plan on a walking trail. Thanks to LWC for working with us on this project.



We have done additional field toppings, gravel and road work, electrical work, at the Little League Park.
