The North Carolina Parks and Recreation Trust Fund gave the okay for a $500,000 grant- the maximum amount available- for Phase I of the park during its meeting on May 11 in Raleigh.
PARTF is set up as a matching program, which means Lewisville will have to pay all the costs of each phase up front and then be reimbursed for the grant amount. The town will have three years to complete the project from the time the grant is received.
Construction could begin by the end of this year.
The total cost for Warren Park is estimated at $1.9 million. By splitting the job into two phases, the town will be eligible for two grants. Cost estimates are $1 million for Phase I and $952,560 for Phase II.
Phase I of the park will include paved walking trails; a 150-person pavilion; a nine-hole disc golf course; a playground village; a 300’x150’ multipurpose athletic field; a large restroom facility; roads, parking and sidewalks.
Phase II will include... Subscribe to the Courier, P.O. Box 765, Clemmons, NC 27012.
