A Charming Since 1779 TO: TOWN COUNCIL FROM: Philip Slayter, Special Projects Administrator DATE: October 3, 2024 RE: Withdrawal of Grant Award NC Parks & Rec. Trust Fund REQUEST: Resolution to Request Grant Withdrawal. BACKROUND: In 2021, the Town was awarded $300,000 from the Trust Fund for development of a greenway through the Town's Commerce Park (aka Industrial Park). This segment would have advanced but not totally complete the link between Joyner Park and the bikeway along NC 56 West. The planned greenway was to parallel a sewer line that would run the length of the 100 acre site. Due to environmental permitting issues, the completion of the proposed sewer line is delayed for approximately 18 months, exceeding the horizon period for the grant award. Although a request to extend the availability of the funds was sought, the NC Parks and Recreation Department was unable to grant an extension. In response, it is the Town's intention to return the funds pending completion of the sewer line then reapply for funding to develop the greenway. As part of the process to return the funds, a public hearing is required to solicit comment as well as approval of the attached resolution.
