NorCo Council Approves Municipal Park Grants

At their Thursday night meeting, NorCo Council approved the following municipal park grants:

Bangor - $9,659 for playground equipment at Memorial Park.

Hellertown - $52,575 to replace wooden steps at Dimmick Park with concrete steps, and develop a naturalized swale.

N. Catasaqua - $7,500 for a trail plan for a trail network within the borough.

N. Catasauqua - $8,000 for shade structures at William J Albert Memorial Park. "A shade structure used to be a tree," remarked Council member John Cusick. Several trees had to be removed because of storm damage. These canopies are considered safer, and trees have maintenance costs.

Pen Argyl - $75,000 for concession stand improvements at Weona Park.

Wind Gap - $79,303 for a trail at Wind Gap Park.

Bushkill Stream Conservancy - $50,000 to stabilize Bushkill Creek between Tatamy and Palmer Tp.

Bushkill Tp - $38,635.51 for split rail fence and other improvements (canoe launch) at Albert Ponds Park.

Lower Nazareth Tp - $150,000 for walking trail and bathroom at Newburg Community Park.

Palmer Tp - $106,570 to upgrade a stoneparking lot at Riverview Park, rebuild walking trail and repair softball fields.

Plainfield Tp- $34,797.50 for a pavillion at Municipal Building Park.

All of these grants are matched.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
