The Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs (MCACA) could provide a grant to help pay for the construction in 2005/2006 of an amphitheater at Civic Center Park on Joslyn Road in Orion Township.
Parks and recreation director Rock Blanchard is applying for the grant that must be in June 3. The application fee is not to exceed $300, and a commitment of funding in the 2005 or 2006 budget is to be made in accordance with the awarding of the grant.
About $100,000 in the 2005 General Capital Improvement Fund will be used for the township’s 10 percent portion.
