Prince William County is hoping to win a $225,000 grant that would be used for accessibility improvements at Marumsco Acre Lake.
- The county says improvements to playground surfaces, pathways, and parking spaces all need to make more handicapped-accessible.
The grant application comes after the Department of Parks, Recreation, and Tourism (DPRT) commissioned a report in 2015 to assess federally-mandated accessibility compliance across all parks in Prince William County.
- It identified numerous deficiencies at Marumsco Acre Lake Park, to which the report had been prioritized and added to the Parks Capital Maintenance Program.
- The report also notes that there is also no handicapped accessible route to a fishing pier at the park.
- However, if one were added, the cost would exceed the $225,000 project limit for the grant.
The deadline for filing an application was October 4.
- The timing of the project depends on when/if the grant is awarded.
Administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program provides annual grants for which accessibility improvement projects qualify.
