Discussion:

MN DNR Outdoor Recreation grant provides funding to develop outdoor recreation facilities in local and community parks.

The entirety of the Sweeney Park project will cost approximately $1,365,000, and the DNR Outdoor Recreation grant will provide up to $350,000.

Budget Impact:

A 50% match is required and can be provided through a combination of cash, the value of materials, labor and equipment usage by the local sponsor, and donations. The match will be paid for out of the Park Development Fund budget.
