Vancouver, WA – The Greater Clark Parks District park development program will reach the halfway point this year, with 21 of 42 planned park and sports field projects either complete or under construction.
Contracts awarded local companies to design or build these facilities now total almost $14 million since the program began in 2005, according to Clark County Public Works and Vancouver-Clark Parks and Recreation.
“The park district program improves the quality of life for our residents, provides more outdoor recreation opportunities, and supports private-sector jobs by putting construction dollars back into the local economy,” said Clark County Public Works Director Pete Capell.
The Greater Clark Parks District is a special district. The property tax collected by the district pays for maintenance and operation of new parks, sports fields and trail projects. Funding for planning, design and construction comes from park impact fees, real estate excise taxes and grants.
The 2009 Greater Clark Parks District Project Status Report is now available online at www.clarkparks.org. A limited number of paper copies may be requested by calling (360) 397-6118 x. 4949.
