WEST HAVEN, July 20, 2022 — The city is accepting suggestions and proposals for improvement and rehabilitation projects for city-owned neighborhood parks, playgrounds, open space, wildlife preserves, public tree plantings and trail parks, Mayor Nancy R. Rossi announced.
Funds for park improvements are provided by Rossi’s American Rescue Plan Act spending plan through a grant from the U.S. Treasury Department.
The park projects and funds will be overseen by the commissioner of the Department of Public Works and the mayoral-appointed ARPA Committee.
Proposals may come from any resident, community group, city department head or “park steward” committee.
Each proposal should provide a brief narrative of the proposed project, an estimated budget, photos of existing conditions, a description of how the park is currently used, and how the project will impact its use and appeal to the residents of West Haven.
For details, see the Parks Improvement Fund document and download a proposal form at West Haven ARPA.
Proposals should be submitted by email no later than Aug. 10 to city Grant Coordinator Doug Colter at dcolter@westhaven-ct.gov.
