To use Community Development Block Grant funds to purchase site amenities for Meek’s Park, it’s necessary to reprogram some existing funds.
The Village of Lake Orion’s 2002 application for CDBG funds requested $9,542 and identified Atwater Park as the location where those funds would be spent..
To use a portion of those funds for Meek’s Park, the village council would have to conduct a public hearing. That’s been scheduled for April 28. Council members will be considering dividing the monies, designating $3,542 for Atwater Park and $6,000 for Meek’s Park.
