Town of Clarkson Receives Grant
The Town of Clarkson has received a $660,375 matching grant through the Environmental Protection Fund Grants Program (EPF) from the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. The funding is part of more than $28 million awarded to support 64 recreation, historic preservation, and trail projects statewide through the 2025 Regional Economic Development Council (REDC) initiative.
The EPF Grant Program for Parks, Preservation, and Heritage supports matching grants for the acquisition, planning, development, and improvement of parks, historic properties, and heritage areas located within New York. Funds are awarded to municipalities or not-for-profits with an ownership interest. The maximum award for EPF in this year’s grant cycle was $675,000.
Clarkson will use the funding for improvements at Hafner Park, including multi-use trails throughout the park, two accessible bathrooms, an amphitheater for community events, and stormwater and drainage improvements.
