Century Applies For $50K To Renovate Showalter Playground
September 16, 2013
The Town of Century will follow a recommendation from the Century Recreation Advisory Committee and submit a grant application to renovate the existing playground area at Showalter Park.
The town is submitting two grant applications to the Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program. FRDAP is a competitive program which provides grants to local governments for outdoor recreational projects. The grants are administered by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. In in addition to the Showalter renovation grant, the town is applying for a grant to install a splash pad at the Anthony Pleasant Sportsplex.
The Showalter grant, if awarded, would be for $50,000, and the Splash Pad grand would be for $125,000. Grant applications are due September 30. The 2014-2015 FRDAP grants are contingent upon approval of an annual appropriation by the Florida Legislature.
