Kenney Secures Grant Funds for Rockledge ParkWednesday July 27, 2005
Rep. George Kenney (R-Philadelphia/Montgomery) announced that he has secured grant funding through the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) for renovations now underway at Rockledge Park.
"I am happy that I was able to assist Rockledge Borough in obtaining funds for the renovations to Rockledge Park," Kenney said. "This grant money will help the borough to provide greater recreational opportunities for residents of all ages."
The grant funding, which totals $30,000, was awarded to Rockledge Borough through the DCNR Community Conservation Partnerships Program and is administered by the department’s Bureau of Recreation and Conservation.
The program provides financial and technical assistance to local governments, river and trail organizations, land trusts and other nonprofits for the planning, acquisition and development of park, recreation, conservation and greenway projects. Funding sources include the Keystone Recreation, Park and Conservation Fund, the Environmental Stewardship Act Fund and the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund.
