Accept $500,000 in grants to improve parks and rebuild MLK Recreation Center
$250,000
In Plain English
The Hellman Foundation awarded Richmond 2 grants worth $250,000 each. The first grant funds a computer system to track maintenance needs at all city parks and recreation centers. The second grant pays for new design plans to rebuild the Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Center after community input. If approved, both projects offset costs that would otherwise come from the city's general budget.
