New playground equipment is coming to the Sedan Park. Earlier this week Sedan was awarded over $49,000 through the Strategic Economic Expansion and Development grant program. City Clerk Sherri Miller says the equipment should be up by this summer.

 

The City applied for the grant under the category of community vibrancy, which according to the Department of Commerce, are projects that refresh, re-energize and unlock the attractiveness of rural communities. The new equipment will be placed on the northeast side of the park next to the ball fields. The last playground equipment placed in the park was second-hand to the City donated by the school over a decade ago.

 

The cost of the project will be around $55,000. A final number should be set within days. According to the DOC and the terms of the grant program, the City has one year to complete the project and must provide at least a 10% match for the outlined project.
