PARKS AND TRAILS LEVY 2016 ~
In a Special Meeting on February 10, 2016, the Board of Park and Recreation Commissioners voted to participate in an excess levy call for the purposes of the following project: To receive funds for improvements, upgrades and renovations to the Morgantown Ice Arena. This is one of a host of projects on the ballot in relation to parks, recreation & trails in the community managed by several different entities.
BOPARC would like to thank each and every patron and citizen that made the levy successful! Without your support our community trails would have suffered a major funding shortfall and we would not someday be able to put forth the dream of upgrades to our local Ice Arena ~ we will post levy funding updates as they are available so please check back often for continued levy news.
Also note that BOPARC's project has been planned as a long-term solution to needed upgrades and improvements to our current facility. These upgrades will require design and engineering studies and renovations will not be undertaken until the proper planning is put forward on the front end. Now that funding is secured, BOPARC will begin the planning process with appropriate partners and sources of support and will move forward with the actual improvements after all funding has been received and all required planning steps have been completed.
