The local impact of this state fund is:
City of Rockville
RedGate Park development
$1.5 million
In the first phase of a major redevelopment of a former golf course, new pathways and meadow areas will be constructed. The addition of park benches, picnic tables, and educational signs will provide spots to rest and learn about the surrounding environment.
On Monday, November 17, the Rockville Mayor and City Council voted to accept the grant and proceed with the work to improve the park.
Below are two emails from Rockville City Council Members thanking email writers, who included the member of the Purple Martin and Bird Club, for their support the grant activities for Redgate Park.
Thanks to everyone who supported this effort!
